As for PF prospects, Patton is a 6'10" without shoes rising HS Senior who recently acquired some of his height and may have more growing to go. To me, he seems like a rim protector and a college center. He can play at the same time as a true 4. I'm not comparing skill here, but think of NBA C/PF combos like Jordan/Griffin, McGee/Faried, or Hibbert/West. If we could have two talented and long bigs on the court at the same time, that would be awesome.

Not many college teams can say they have a true C/PF combo. The ones that do are usually really, really good. See: 2013 Baylor and 2012 Kentucky.
