Derrick Rowland Jr. adds to father's Albany Patroons legacy
Derrick Jr., a Green Tech graduate and Cohoes native, is averaging 9.7 points per game as a reserve for the Patroons (8-1). They take an eight-game winning streak into Friday's game against the London Lightning at the Armory.
When Rowland returned last year for his third head-coaching stint with the Patroons, he reached out to Derrick Jr., who finished his college career last March at Division II New Haven. Derrick Jr., who scored 1,320 points in college, pursued an overseas career in Montenegro for about two months but returned after getting homesick.
