He did go for 16, with 9 rebs, 4 assts, and 3 stls today, along with 2-5 from 3 and that insane dunk. Of course it would be nice for him to be a 38%+ shooter from outside, but we might as well appreciate him for the dozen things he does exceptionally.

He and Wright together are the best freshman duo at this point of a season we've had.

This. He's an exceptional rebounder for a guard. There were multiple instances today that he was hustling to the boards just in case this type of opportunity presented itself.

One of these days, we'll have a freshman that can stroke it from deep. In the meantime, I'm liking that VJ is settling in and starting to play like the player he was for the Bahamas in Olympic Qualifying.

Vj is a good player that had a rough start. It was highlighted more because there are a ton of freshman going off this year right out of the gate.

But Vj is probably already our best defender and is our second best rebounder. If he is finally settling in, look out. His ball security and finishing should continue to improve.

Shot is a work in progress but hopeful can get well above 40% from the field and above 30% from 3.

#1 on Sports Center. That's twice in the last month Baylor has had a #1 SC moment with Jeremy Roach's game winner vs. St. John's.

I said this on another thread, Edge is like a wing version of Missi on the defensive end with his ability to block shots from the weak side and generate steals and deflections with his anticipation. He is averaging 2.4 steals and 1.5 blocks (Missi averaged .6 steals and 1.5 blocks last season). His perimeter shots needs work and he is not a perfect player by any means, but he has elite defensive potential due to his combination of freak athleticism and hustle. This kid really gets after it and has the grit and motor to his game to match his talent. We are lucky to have him.
