Good objective analysis......I'm a big Patrick fan and can see the potential that he has. We all know by now the set backs and challenges he has faced physically (at least what has been out in the public forum) and I don't know how that couldn't affect his development.
That said, he looked bigger and stronger this last year and will hopefully take another step forward this year.
**I think that one of the conundrums a coach faces with a player like this, is that when you try to infuse confidence in both the individual players and the team, you have to put up with some quirks in order to let them blossom....I think that Fran is doing that with Patrick on some of those shots, because I guarantee that he makes a good number of them in practice and pick up games ets.......or he wouldn't be shooting them.
