Patrick Patterson was seen as a starter for the Oklahoma City Thunder when he was signed on in 2017. He had a reputation as a player who could shoot the ball well, in addition to being solid on the defensive end. The Thunder's late acquisition of Carmelo Anthony forced Patterson to the bench, although he played some big minutes in his first season.

The 29-year-old was adequate from the bench in his first year, although his performances were a long way off from those during his stint with the Raptors. With both Corey Brewer and Carmelo Anthony leaving over the summer, Patterson was expected to finally step up, but Patterson is still only playing 16.1 minutes per game.

The player is shooting .346 from three-point range, and for the first time in his career, Patterson is shooting below .400 from the field. Unless Patterson starts knocking down his open shots, he could be among the first to be traded away from the Thunder this season.
