Patrick Patterson had his first NBA double-double last night, scoring 15 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in Houston’s 114-105 victory over Toronto.

In four games since being recalled from the D-League, Patterson is averaging five points and 3.3 rebounds in 10 minutes per game.

P-Pat also earned the praise the Dream Shake’s Tim Martin:

At this point, Patterson is likely to screw up and do something against the will of the coaches, sure. But you’d better believe that he doesn’t need any coaching to knock someone on his face going for a loose ball. He’s a talented overachiever, and if there is one thing that all overachievers have, it’s confidence. Thankfully, his confidence is a controlled confidence. It’s confidence in his own ability, but not to the point where it slithers into his ego. Having talked to him face-to-face at the NBA Draft, having been present for his first press conference as a pro and having seen him play during the summer and in the preseason, it’s clear that Patterson does not feel that he is anywhere near his peak as a basketball player and that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get better.

BBL: Trevor Lacey offered; DeAndre Daniels update

Big Blue Links for Tuesday:

TREVOR LACEY DECISION COMING? – All Kentucky Hoops reports that UK has offered the 6-foot-3 guard, ranked No. 34 by Rivals, and that Lacey could make a decision soon.

BRASSOW GETS HIS RING BACK – Eric Lindsey of Cat Scratches reports, “In the land of Kentucky basketball, finding a Final Four basketball ring of a former basketball player lies somewhere between the equivalent of discovering the Holy Grail and a 10-carat diamond. Quite literally, the ring is priceless. So imagine Jeff Brassow’s surprise when he was contacted by a Fayette Urban County Government employee and told his long-lost Final Four ring had been found. To give back an item of such worth and merit in a time of such dishonesty and underwhelming values was a jolt of shock for Brassow.”

DEANDRE DANIELS UPDATE – The 6-7 forward, who visited UK over the weekend, and can enroll in January, will visit North Carolina State. “NC State has been pushing hard for both Daniels and Garrett since this summer when Larry Harris first had contact with Garrett’s step-father and expressed NC State’s interest,” reports Pack Insider. “Since then it hasn’t been only Harris on the case, head coach Sidney Lowe and Monte Towe have also made their way down to Florida to visit the two stars. With NC State on both of their lists and the Wolfpack eager to land them, they’ve decided to take a visit to Raleigh together on December 19th when State takes on Arizona in the RBC Center, according to Garrett.” (Hat tip to Aaron’s UK Basketball Blog.)

– Tipton writes that Knight, Liggins and Jones are eating up the minutes for the Cats.

SEC basketball taking its early lumps, writes Mark Story of the H-L.

THE SWITCH TO THE 3-4 – Rick Minter could be named UK’s new co-defensive coordinator as early as today, and there is speculation the Cats will switch to a 3-4 scheme next season. Bleed Blue Kentucky writes, “Before Rick Minter is named the new Co-Defensive Coordinator, he is already telling recruits the Cats will switch to a 3-4 defensive scheme in 2011. I have to admit, I wouldn’t be a huge fan of the change. UK hasn’t shown the ability to stop the run well enough to make the change in my opinion. However, the Cats have recruited defensive lineman such as Brice Laughlin and Donte Rumph who are natural defensive ends.”

Jon Davis is solid with his UK commitment, reports Chip Cosby of the Herald-Leader.
