    It is all about opportunity. Rather have him than Moe H.

    Patty Mills has been a legit NBA player for years now.

    I would rather watch the illegitimate brother of Travis Knight play instead of Harkless at this point

    Raise your hand if you would take Pat over Crabbe, disregarding their contracts.

    Understandable. Crabbe is a deadeye shooter. Pat can do pretty much everything else better though. He's not great, but he plays his role and doesn't really make mistakes out there.

    I agree, Pat C looks like he has more to his game than just shooting, although its questionable how good is he at doing those things... I need to see him drive in the paint more, so I could form an opinion

    but he looks small and unathletic to me, maybe Im wrong, well see

    that being said, unless hes very good at those things, he should stick to shooting threes
    god knows we need more shooters on this team, Pat C could be one

    It's not just about opportunity. In patty's case it's about character, hard work and determination. I appreciate it greatly

    You have to appreciate those second round talents that work their asses off and take advantage when they are given playing time.

    Pat shot better than Crabbe last year (small sample size) and he does it again this year. It's about time we start thinking about Pat as a dead-eye shooter as well...

    "toss-up" should be an option, if contracts are being disregarded.

    The only enjoyment I took from yesterdays game, was watching how efficient Pat played. Granted he is not exceptional, as he does not take over a game, but he is everywhere. He does not play fast and loose with the ball, has great instincts when to pass and when to shoot. Always going after the ball on D. He has shown that he is far more than a spot up 3 baller.

    Whether Pat takes 1 shot or 5, teams have to respect his shot, and that's good for our offence. He plays smart and he's a hustle player. Should have a decent career as a role player.
