A point guard has to be a playmaker, someone who can spontaneously create on the court. On offense, an ideal point guard has to be able to spot the open man or take the shot when it comes to him. The point guard usually draws one of the toughest defen sive assignments every game since he has to guard the oppos ing point guard. What Edwards gives up by being slight of build (he stands at 5 feet 9 inch es), he more than makes up with his sleight of hand, leading the conference in steals with 2.9 per game. Despite having only one swipe against UH, Edwards now has 206 career steals, putting him only two behind all-time A&M leader Todd Holloway(1983-87). Edwards has also moved within reach of A&M's all-time assist record, currently held by Dave Goff(1976-80) with 535. With his Wednesday night total, Edwards has 516 assists. At times this season, Edwards has been overshadowed by an other SWC point guard, UT's BJ. Tyler, and at other times by his teammates, including the domi nating emergence of Joe Wilbert, and the last-second heroics of Chuck Henderson. Despite his lack of press time, Edwards has become an all-around player, on pace to set career highs this sea son in assists, steals, minutes played and three-point field ils. goal He adds an extra dimension to the Aggies' attack by averag ing 4.9 rebounds per game, fourth on the team. He also leads A&M in free throws made, attempted and free throw per centage. But the numbers mean noth ing if you've never seen Ed wards in action. Against UH, made a pass that I don't think anyone short of Magic Johnson or Jason Kidd could have pulled off. With the Cougars still threatening late in the first half, Edwards dribbled into the left corner, and bounced the ball backwards between his legs. From the press row, I thouglt the pass was going to Quid Henderson who was cuttiii! through the lane, but Henderso: had stopped short of the ball! trajectory. But the ball instead landei right in the hands of its intends receiver, Wilbert, who madey easy lay-up, and drew the foul. Perhaps the highest praisei| player can receive is fromh coach, and when it comes tote starting point guard, Baronetei nothing but praise. "David is an unselfish bask ball player, there have been aid of good guards in the SWC ort the years, " Barone said. "This honor is a tremendous credit to David Edwards." veniles i compari and dea places li The s olent cri is steadi cy and c have tht they're i their eai three or tenced t crimes.
