We all know Patrick Patterson is a great communicator as he has shown time and time again as a Wildcat. He’s also great in writing as he is showing with his NBA Draft Diary hosted on Sports Illustrated. We’re thrilled for Patrick and looking forward to watching him as a Houston Rocket next year. Hard work breeds success, Patterson is a model of that.

Here are a few highlights:

[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]Hey world, say hello to the newest member of the Houston Rockets. I’m so happy to finally have a home. After all the hard work I’ve put in, I’m also relieved.[/COLOR][/LEFT]
[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]Draft day was the longest day ever. After breakfast, all prospects had a meeting with the players’ association, and [B]Kevin Durant[/B] spoke to us about entering the league. We had lunch with commissioner [B]David Stern[/B], and I brought along my family. When I finally got some down time after lunch, I went straight back to my hotel room for a nap. I didn’t want to stay up, since I was so nervous, so I forced myself to sleep. I woke up around 4:30 to get dressed and head over to Madison Square Garden. I just wanted the draft to start, but first we had to take pictures and do interviews. It felt like time was moving so slow.[/COLOR][/LEFT]
[LEFT][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000]As for the rest of the draft, I was obviously happy for all my Kentucky guys. Did anyone see the watch [B]DeMarcus Cousins[/B] had on? I told him he could have bought a whole country with that thing it had so many diamonds. Speaking of style, I wanted to win best-dressed at the draft, but [B]Wes Johnson[/B] outdid me. Only because of the pants he wore. At first I laughed at him, but then I was like, “man, that’s fly.”[/COLOR][/COLOR][/LEFT]
