Not sure if they have different levels he was a big man. Think poor man's French (including the FT misses and he was from NY). We dominated. Anyway, was just checking on Yuri he's played 7 games about 22mpg with 4.6 ast avg, shooting 33% from 3 https://stats.gleague.nba.com/player/1641879 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Good exposure for Patrick with the Olympics just around the corner. He started last season as backup GK for the Crew, took over #1 in March, won the MLS Cup and now rocking on the USMNT.

It would be outstanding to see him in the Olympics, the US Men’s team hasn’t qualified in awhile if I remember correctly. Also, isn’t it primarily a U23 event, with only 3 players over that per team? I thought I heard that once, not sure if it’s accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
