Another huge get for David Patrick! He can sit on to the bench next to LSU’s other overseas “star”, Ron Zipper.

Has anyone ever gotten so much run off of ONE player (Ben Simmons) as Patrick?

The Australian connection goes all the way back to Dale Brown and Eddie Palubinskas in 1970.

Any Aussie basketball players want to migrate to the US, just contact David Patrick. He will hook you up. You don't even have to play, just warm the bench.
