Write Up
Justin Patton has exploded on to the draft scene this season with his solid play for Creighton. He red shirted his freshman year of college in order to develop his game and bulk up his body and so far it is paying off. Patton is a good rim runner and can finish strong in transition, he is still working on his post moves, but shows flashes of being a savvy back to the basket big. He can also stretch the floor to a degree, he doesn’t routinely shoot 3’s, but can hit them if left open. Patton plays with intensity and has put in the hard work to be where he’s at today. He still needs to bulk up and develop his overall offensive game, but he has all the tools to be a very useful NBA player in the future.
