I'll admit I had to research this guy.
He's actually a good prospect. 2nd round pick by the Bucks in 2014 went #48. Jordan Clarkson was drafted two picks before.
Patterson can shoot the 3 and pass the ball very well. Throws lobs one handed with either hand. Dropped a dime from half court. I even saw a few flashy passes. Looks like a smart player. Most of his run came in the D-league. Played for ATL summer league team in 2015.
He's 6'5 or 6'6, 226lbs.
Honestly he looks like a better player than McLemore, just no where near as athletic

Patterson is good. He was a decent prospect for the Hawks, but he had to be cut not because of talent, but because the Hawks had 2 first round picks this year. Lamar was a prospect that Hawks fans have warm feelings about. He didn't get stable minutes, but most Hawks fans thought he could become a good rotation bench player the older he gets.
This might surprise you, but Patterson is like a very very poor man's Andre Miller.
Lamar is 6'5, with point guard skills. He was the Hawks 3rd string PG from time to time.
Like Andre Miller, Patterson is not that athletic, he has a good IQ and PG skills, and his 3pt shooting is average. His skills worked well in the Hawks system. Lamar is 230lbs, but he is not really cut, he is alittle chunky, but his defense is not a real liability.
Lamar's numbers are not good, but he is still very very young, and Hawks fans still thinks he could be decent bench player if he keeps developing
