James yes..Patterson no fuggin way....Hes been gawd awful of late..shooting like 25 % his last 5 games,hes turned into a perimeter player and nothing else...
Beginning of the year alot of raptor heads was saying PP by mid season could take over the starting PF,but nobody is gonna argue that anymore....
I'd still give him a shot at starting with Johnson, their talents offset one another and you'd be able to mimic what the Warriors have to a certain extent. The fact he's turned into a perimeter player is why you play him with James / DeRozan, gives you the spacing to pull the PF out the lane and gives them attacking lanes.
It's hard to come off the bench and be effective, Amir is a garbage man so really his game won't be affected much.
