Patterson, just like all other players, is incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to play professional basketball. Although many may see playing in Turkey as a step down, it’s far from that, and it’s just the first stage of Patterson’s development.

What the Pennsylvania native makes of it is completely up to him. If Patterson applies himself, and works harder than ever before, during his time in Turkey, there’s no reason he won’t be back in the NBA with the Hawks next season.
