Pilgrim could make big contributions if Patterson goes pro after next year.

I hope BCG can resolve his discipline problems.

7 points and 5 rebounds per game at Hampton doesn't sound like too much to get excited over.

His stats don't look like much, but he averaged more than that his freshman year. Last year the coach decided to play run and gun, taking Pilgram out of the offense. He will have to sit out a year, but will be able to practice with the team. So with one full year of Billy G practices under his belt, he should be able to contribute quite a bit for the 09 season.

Who all was Pilgrim being recruited by out of high school? Does anyone know?

From what I could find, he wasn't ranked coming out of high school, and the only schools to choose from were Hampton, St. Louis, and Cleveland St. I did find this link on nbadraft.net that explains how he has NBA potential.
