Raptors’ Patterson has to play his way back
In case it wasn’t already obvious from his play, in all likelihood Patrick Patterson will not be starting when the Raptors open their 2015-16 NBA season at home against the Indiana Pacers.
While coach Dwane Casey didn’t name names, he did say that, unless something drastic happens between now and Wednesday night, the starting rotation is going to look pretty much as it did on Friday in Montreal, where the Raptors wrapped up their pre-season schedule with a victory over the Washington Wizards.
That means the 6-foot-9 Patterson won’t be on the floor to face the Pacers because, while it seemed like the power forward position that opened up when Amir Johnson departed for Boston in the off-season was his for the taking, he has basically did little to show he deserved the job.
