I'm not buying from anyone that thinks Patterson can't defend well athletically on the wing once she gets acclimated. Not only do the vids show her elite athleticism but HoopGurlz specifically has identified as her strengths her versatility and her perimeter athleticism.

I also think Ducharme is a fluid 2/3/4. A bit awkward maybe for a 2 and bit small for a 4 but still a very fluid and very tough player. I think though the 3 is her best as is Lou. Generally UCONN has a wing that's a shooter / scorer and these two fit that well. Just hope Lou cna play the D needed.

So, with that said, I don't think Patterson is "an outstanding option" at all as a wing. Because her shot isn't very good at this point in her career, she is going to force one of the bigs to play offense on the perimeter.

I'm very excited to see her however. Very very excited. She can play high post or in the paint offensively.  I'm really excited to see how she and Brady play Morrow.
