In the first basket he tried early
in the game, too, and although
he got only one other that night
he showed he was going to be

Fits in without filters
Despite his high school repu-

know-it-aIl youngster. He
doesn't attempt to take the play
away from the veterans but isn't
a drag on the team, either. Hes
fitted right in without filters
about stepping out in fast COM
Ipany. He takes his cut with the
rest of them, not hogging the
chances but not lodging them.
Defensively he's like an extra
layer of skin on the player he's
guarding, yet he rarely makes a
foul. In fact it seems like a
shame to blow the whistle on
such a looking youngster
/. And he's getting the points on
offense, although he's playing
the guard position far back where
he sets up more chances for
teammates than he gets himself,
In GW's second game he scored
IA points, and it was the same
number the third time out.
Last Tuesday he came through

That was the exact margin OF
victory over the Mountaineers'

total were the four baskets he
made in a row late in the first
