After Melo headed for the exits, Patterson had a chance to grab a spot in the starting lineup. Due to his characteristic slow start to the regular season, the 29-year-old lost his starting role to Jerami Grant who excelled at it as the season progressed and finished with 13.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Patterson's presence on the roster went unnoticed as he fell completely out of the rotation down the stretch when OKC signed Markieff Morris.

Patterson played 63 games for the Thunder (5 of which he started in) and ended the regular season with a subpar scoring average of 3.6 points per game on 33% shooting from deep.

Known and respected for his high basketball IQ, perimeter shooting and defense, Patterson failed to justiify his payscale by a huge margin. Currently, the veteran possesses the choice of opting into the final year of the contract which might fetch him another $5,711,200.
