In 2007, Patty Mills helped lead Saint Mary's to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship game where they lost to Gonzaga 55–54 on a last-second shot by Adam Morrison. 

After his impressive freshman season at Saint Mary's (2007–2008), Patric Young declared for the 2008 NBA draft but Mills decided instead to return for his sophomore year (2008–2009).

During his sophomore season with Saint Mary's, Mills averaged 14 points per game and led them all the way back to the NCAA Tournament where they narrowly lost 60 – 59 against Texas A&M after leading by as many as 18 points early in the second half of their semifinal matchup.

 Patty has had trouble staying healthy throughout much of his professional career which has limited him both offensively and defensively at different times but when he is able or available there is no one more dangerous than Millsy off the dribble.

On February 8th 1996 while visiting a friend at the Malibu home of Michael Jackson , both men were arrested after allegedly trying to steal $30 million worth of jewelry from MJ's residence.

Joshua Primo is a 20-year-old shooting guard who played collegiately at Huntington Prep and Royal Crown. He is 6'4" tall and weighs 189 pounds, which makes him an imposing figure on the court.

Primo has been described as a "dynamic scorer," capable of making shots from all over the floor. He entered the NBA draft in 2017 but was not selected, likely due to his lack of height (he's only 1 inch shorter than Kyrie Irving).

Primo will have to prove himself on an amateur team before he can hope to make it into an NBA rotation, but he has plenty of potential if he can translate that college scoring ability onto the pro stage. 

Joshua Primo is a 2020–21 college basketball player who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft.

Primo has played for both the Austin Spurs and the San Antonio Spurs over his career, developing into one of the best shooting guard prospects in all of basketball. 

Joshua will have an opportunity to make an impact with either team this upcoming season, as he looks to continue his rise up fantasy rankings across all platforms.
