Chris Patureau is an all purpose player. He's a lefty with a lot of upside. A very underrated player with the ability to make teammates better every time he steps on the court. Can shoot lights out from the 3 point line, free throw line & midrange. He's been working on additional ballhandling skills to round his game out. 
Editor'sNote: Got a chance to see him play against MBA Hoops (MS) & he went toe to toe with Laquinton Ross a top 10 player in the Nation. Chris finished with 24pts,10rebs and 6ast.  Not too bad for a "private school" kid.
