Patty Mills; Hit Or Miss?.

Patrick Mills is an Indigenous Australian basketball player from Canberra. He grew up in Canberra and attended the AIS (Australian Institute Of Sport). Which then lead him to St Mary's College. Which he played two seasons there and then decided to enter the NBA draft. After his Rookie season he played for Australian National Team the Boomers. Which he stunned Basketball fans and stars including Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant when he lead the Bogut lead Boomers in scoring which made a name for himself. And untimely his draft stock rose. Predicted to be a Top 25 Round 1 pick. Patrick Mills ended up falling to pick No. 55 which he was saved from falling out of the Draft by the Portland Trailblazers. For a predicted first round pick to fall all the way to No. 55. Is quite amazing and disappointing.

Don't get me wrong, as a proud Aussie i am great full to even see him in the draft. But i am also questioning if he can be success full or if his pick was where it was meant to be. If you look in depth with Patrick Mills. You see his game resembles a poor mans Tony Parker. But i believe a better comparison would be to Jordan Farmer. He is one of the Quickest players with a deadly first step, who rather drives then taking a Jumpshot. Who can also play the Shooting Guard well. And is a great offball player. His defence can improve but if you watch him play you will notice how he contesting every pass ect. Mill's main flaw in his game is his Jumpshot and critics say he is far from a pure Point Guard and needs to learn how to pass better and take less shots. But he comes from the Gaels, a team that isnn't a dominant team that needs a scorer. And Patrick Mills takes what he gets. He was best described when a commentator mentioned this " Patrick Mills is like a Punt returner, he's going to fumble but he will also come up with some big plays".

The kid has alot to learn, but so does nearly every rookie. If he gets minutes i firmly believe he will be an efficient scorer and a definant steal in the draft. As for hit in miss. Hit if he gets minutes, miss if he does not. Simple as that.
