Following an impressive four-year spell in Toronto, Patrick Patterson joined the Thunder ahead of the 17/18 season and he was initially earmarked as a starter in Oklahoma City. While he was relegated to the bench following the surprise arrival of Carmelo Anthony, the power forward managed to contribute well during 82 regular season appearances.

However, Patterson's minutes waned during the 2018 playoffs, and that theme has continued into the current season. The 30-year-old has played just 60 times, contributing 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14 minutes per contest -- ultimately failing to fill the void that Melo's summer departure left.

When on the court, Billy Donovan has tried to use the former Raptors man in a 3 and D role, although with Patterson's accuracy falling to 33%, it looks as though he will have an extremely limited role in the playoffs.
