Current Season
$Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Rockets in February of 2021. Waived by the Rockets in April of 2021.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Patton was born June 14, 1997 in Riverdale, Georgia. He's the son of Tora Patton and has three siblings -- Terrel, Kendall and Raven. He's the cousin of former Creighton Basketball big man Donnie Johnson. During collegiate at Creighton, Patton majored in social work with a minor in communication. Patton attended Omaha North high school, where he became a top-50 recruit by the end of his senior year and was named First Team All-State by the Omaha World-Herald. He led the team to a school-record 23 wins in 27 games, a district title and a state tournament appearance. In college, his dream job was to become a Division I basketball coach or NBA player. Patton redshirted the 2015-16 campaign, making his debut as a redshirt freshman during the 2016-17 season. In his first game, Nov. 11 against UMKC, Patton posted 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes. He went on to averaged 12.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 blocks in 25.3 minutes while shooting 67.6 percent from the field. Arguably his best performance was Nov. 29 against Buffalo, where Patton accumulated 21 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal. After the season, Patton was named to the All-Big East Second Team and was awarded the Big East Rookie of the Year. He proceeded to declare for the NBA draft.

CHouston Rockets
April 3, 2021
Patton will be waived by the Rockets, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Christian Wood healthy and Kelly Olynyk also in the fold, the Rockets apparently feel that it's not worth it to keep Patton around. He appeared in 13 games and averaged 5.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks in 19.0 minutes. After being drafted 16th overall in 2017, Patton has struggled to get his career off the launchpad. He's only played 22 total games across four different franchises. It wouldn't be surprising to see him end up on another rebuilding squad this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't have expectations of him being a consistent part of a rotation.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
The 16th pick in the 2017 draft, Patton missed much of his rookie season while working back from a foot injury sustained during the summer of 2017. Patton ultimately played just four total minutes at the NBA level, but he was able to log 38 games for the Iowa Wolves of the G League, where he averaged 12.7 points and 5.4 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game. Even before the injury, Patton was going to be a project player, but his developmental timeline has been pushed back even further after he required another surgery in April to re-address the previous foot issue. At this point, it's unclear when, exactly, Patton will be cleared for full basketball activities, but given the history of big men with serious foot injuries, the Timberwolves will likely exercise caution, meaning Patton is highly unlikely to be a Fantasy factor in 2018-19.
Patton’s rookie campaign has gotten off to a rocky start, as he fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during a workload in early July. He underwent successful surgery, however, but hasn’t been given a timetable for return. When he’s healthy, he should be in line to see some run, as the Wolves have subpar depth at the center position behind star center Karl-Anthony Towns. Patton, after redshirting his first year of college, went on to earn Big East freshman of the year honors last season while averaging 12.9 points (on 67.7 percent from the field) and 6.2 rebounds per game. He possesses top-shelf athleticism, often running in transition and providing a whirlwind of dunks and blocked shots. That said, he can probably be avoided with no regret come draft day due to his projected role and injury situation.
