After playing Robin to Anfernee Simons' Batman on the opening night of the UAA finals, Nova target Elijah Weaver was much more an equal co-star on Thursday afternoon with an improved performance. After a hot start, it looked as though Weaver might take on the lead role for Team Breakdown for the day, and despite cooling down, he still had a productive day.
Weaver began the day by hitting three of his first four shot attempts, but after cooling down a bit he finished 5-14 from the floor, 1-5 from three, and 5-7 from the line. He scored 16 points to go along with five steals, three rebounds, and an assist.
After shooting just 1-7 from the floor and 4-9 from the line in Wednesday's opener, Weaver was still struggling with his shot on Thursday, although he improved, particularly from the foul line. His 3-4 start showed that the shooting touch is there, even if he is struggling to find it at the moment. Most impressive on Thursday was his ability to be disruptive on the defensive end, as his five steals demonstrates.
Jahvon Quinerly will be in action later this afternoon.
