Patty Mills (SAS) – “Pat Stacks”

Profile:

Point Guard: 6’0, 185 lbs; 9th year, St. Mary’s

NBA Role: reliable combo guard • Star UnderDOG

Patty Mills has the best job ever, let me explain – EVERY NBA player can score (we already know this) but not everyone can earn a coach’s trust enough to jack up crazy shots & play through mistakes – Mills somehow accomplished it under one of the best minds in league history; Coach Pop’s ‘instant-O-spark-plug’, Mills enters the game with one thing on his mind: score in bunches; infectiously energetic on both ends of the floor – changes the pace of a game as soon as he steps on the court, doesn’t need much to get it going; scrappy dog on D: will slide, take charges and frustrate PGs all night long; Mills’s range is deep but poor shot selection comes w/ the territory (from time to time); uptick in minutes to spell Tony Parker?

Signature Shot: high-arching 3-pointer
