How did Patrick Ewing Jr. perform in college?
The eldest of the three Ewing children is best known for carrying on their father's name. However, he wasn't able to be of impact in his career as a college and professional basketball player.
Born on May 20, 1984, all eyes were on Ewing Jr. to follow in his father's footsteps. People watched him closely as he grew up and matured as a basketball player. Early in his basketball career, he joined Indiana University. He played his freshman and sophomore seasons with Indiana before transferring to the Georgetown Hoyas.
Due to NCAA transfer rules, however, Partick Jr. had to sit out the entire 2005-06 season. In his final year, he was finally allowed to play for the Hoyas, but only averaged 6.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists. Despite his low numbers, he won the Big East Sixth Man of the Year.
Ewing Jr. played the small forward position, which was not similar to the position his dad played, which was center. Due to his lackluster performance as a college player, he wasn't able to make it big in the NBA. During his career, he bounced around to different leagues, ranging from the NBA to European leagues.
