1. Bryson is the real deal (we already knew that).
2. Edwards is also really consistent, and confident. I feel the same about Odigie. There's more players around him, but he's picked up right where he left off from last year.
3. Miner's don't handle the press very well. It's especially troubling against a team who is not very athletic or fast. I think this is due to our pg situation, or maybe lack thereof. This is where I think Archie plays a big role when available. Otherwise, we're going to have some TO issues this year...
3. I actually thought Boum did better at the pg position tonight. I've watched Lathon, and I noticed he rarely crosses between his legs. He instead consistently crosses in front of his body, which gives opponents opportunities to swipe at the ball. Maybe this is a lack of confidence in his ball handling skills? Boum was the complete opposite. He made quick moves when pressed, and handled the ball with confidence. I'd say let him run the point against the press, at the very least.
4. I like Villa, but he makes some odd mistakes at times. He had a couple of bad passes that were just head scratchers. Otherwise, I thought he had a solid performance tonight
5. When is Tarke going to show up? I liked that he finally got aggressive at the end (and got a couple points), but I'm really surprised he isn't one of the guys we're all talking about already.
6. Score was closer than i'd like to see, but NM Highlands just went lights out for a good period in that second half. Some of those shots were blind luck, but that seemed to build their confidence to the point that they couldn't miss. Good job by them for not giving up so easily.
