Re: Patrick Patterson [Sophomore - Kentucky]

Hes going back to Kentucky:

Gary Parrish of CBS Sportsline was the one who broke the scoop about Patrick Patterson deciding to return to Kentucky:

"I have the chance to graduate in three years, which is important to me and my family," Patterson said. "I want to help Kentucky compete for a national title, and even more than that win its eighth national championship. I'm also really excited about playing for Coach Cal and developing my game in the dribble drive offense."

Meeks has until June 15 to withdraw from the NBA Draft.

"In the month that I've been at Kentucky, I've been blown away by Patrick Patterson," Calipari said. "He is one of the nicest individuals I've met and one of the fiercest competitors that I've been around. I'm thrilled I get to coach him next year."

The fact that Patterson decided to return is not all that surprising—John Calipari is one of the best salesmen in college basketball, and the pitch of winning a national championship is not that far-fetched—what is surprising is the timing. Patterson was yet to conduct even a single workout and likely has received very little meaningful feedback on where his draft stock lies and what NBA teams would like to see him improve on. For him to already elect to withdraw from the draft means that he just wasted his ability to test the waters next year, which he may just end up needing.

What this means for the 2009 draft is that the pool only continues to shrink. We can now count as many as 14 players who likely would have been first round picks had they elected to enter the draft, which would have pushed most of the players currently slated to be taken in the 20’s all the way into the mid 2nd round.
