PBev Really Showing Out for the US U19 Team

[jbhicks]

Patrick is playing very well for the 19 and Under Team USA. This is great experience, and I think this is really going to help his game. I just hope this action doesn't wear him out. His stats are as follows:

9.5 Points/game (4th on the team)
5.0 Rebounds/game (4th on the team)
4.0 Assists/game (1st on the team)
1.3 Steals/Game (2nd on the team)
He is also playing around 21 minutes (I think this is first as well on the team) a game while shooting better than 40% from the field and 30% from 3-point land. Interestingly though he is only shooting around 60% from the charity stripe. He was so clutch there last season for us.

Good luck to Patrick and the rest of Team USA. We really have several things to look forward to next year!

Playing for the U19 team is really going to help him.

Glad to see the world is learning what we already knew.

I agree that it is great that he is getting the exposure and additional playing time!  Representing us well.  I just hope he can keep himself fresh for the upcoming season.  He will come back, basically have a week and a half before practice for the trip to Mexico with the team.  But he is doing great and the extra playing time against competition like that will definitely help.

That's exactly what I was thinking.  It's great that he's representing the USA but I hope he doesn't wear himself out.  Fortunately we'll play mostly weaker teams in non-conference play so he won't have to go too many minutes.

  Not sure about that, Pel is stacking on the Big 12 teams and we know how we performed against them last year...

He won't wear himself out. If he wasn't playing for team USA he'd be playing pick-up games 8 hours a day.

Which Big 12 teams do we have scheduled so far?

I am pretty sure on Texas Tech and Missouri. Texas was but they wimped out on us. Not sure on any others.
