Justin Patton making the leap from Creighton to the NBA
Creighton Bluejays freshman center Justin Patton has entered the 2017 NBA Draft and will hire an agent, ending his college career, per Shams Charania of The Vetical.
What It Means:
Patton is seen as a top 20 NBA prospect in the upcoming draft with the potential of creeping into the lottery with a strong combine. Standing as a true seven-footer, the freshman offers tons of potential for teams looking for an offensive minded big man who can defend the paint.
Patton averaged 12.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game while posting a 67.6% shooting percentage.
