Unfortunately, I don't foresee his shot form changing any time soon. Pat seriously needs to beef up.

He is in the midst of beefing up.

Not that Fran would, but he seems desperately in need of a redshirt. Pack on some pounds, develop his shot...etc.

Well, Jazz Johnson appears to shoot in similar fashion as Patrick and he is tied for Number 2 in D1 this season for the Wolfpack.....
Patrick does have the advantage of being almost a foot taller than Jazz, however. Things might not be as dim as some think. PMac is a natural scorer and should put up a number of points on the scoreboard for the Hawks. Of this, I am certain.....

I thought the same thing about his shot, but I still worry when looking at box scores how anyone with that type of height only has 4 rebounds. I guess those are the little things that eat at me, maybe I expect too much.

Sure as hell weren't at the Hawkeye game.

I noticed that too. Wieskamp was pulling in like 17 boards a game it seemed like.

PMac's never been a big rebounder and he never will be. His success will depend upon his outside game unless he somehow puts on 40 pounds.

Joe averaged 13.4 rebounds last year. Patrick is averaging 7.5 this year.

I really don’t have a problem with Pat’s shooting form. At 6’8” he’s not going to have a problem getting that off on anyone. He should have the skills to get past any big man to the basket. I think he could be a great Hawk with some added weight. I’d say 25-30 lbs. He does have some very good skills regardless of what some Fran haters want to believe. I’m sure his BB IQ is high like Connor’s. I’d say most of us have been impressed with Connor, I believe we will be even more impressed with Patrick.

I’d rather drink the Kool-Aide than be a perpetual Richard Cranium! No offense. Merry Christmas!
So who is the bigger kool-aid drinker?
The fan that chooses to cheer for the current coaching staff and players to have success or the fan that thinks we can fire the current coach and hire someone else and the new coach is going to be more successful, if not we'll fire that one and try again until the AD gets it right.
I know that I fall in the first group. I also know that once a coaching change is made, I'll cheer for the new coach.
My father-in-law gave me some very good advice years ago. He told me "You might as well cheer up now because things are probably going to get worse "
