Ruben Patterson was introduced as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday and is ready to play his first games in the Eastern Conference.

"When they see me working hard, it's going to get them (teammates) motivated to do the same thing," said Patterson.

"I can tell you there are guys in the East who don't like playing against me. Richard Hamilton (Detroit Pistons guard) is one of them. He just don't like it when I guard him. Guys like that who can score, you've got to play physical and don't let them touch the basketball."
