Micah dealt with some foul trouble in the first half, but remained as the top leader on his team, bringing the energy at all times. The 6’3” senior took over in the second half scoring the ball, finishing the win with a team-high 20 points. He was knocking down some difficult pull-up mid-range jumpers and connected with some shots from beyond the arc as well. He even got loose for a two-hand fast break dunk later in the second half. Young impressed me with his game on the court, but also impressed me with his vocal leadership and passion. He has led Edison to a 6-1 record to start the season.

Micah is one of the preseason contenders for City Conference POTY, and he showed why on Saturday. The senior wing threw down two dunks showcasing his athleticism around the basket, but was also a threat from the mid-range. He does a great job of getting to his spots from around 12-15 feet, and with his release point it’s extremely difficult for defenders to alter/block his shots. Once he gets to his spots there isn’t much you can do as a defender besides hope he misses. Was a 20 ppg scorer as a junior and will look to build upon that as a senior.

Micah will be one of the early frontrunners for Minneapolis City Conference Player of the Year after averaging 20.6 ppg as a junior, and last night he showed off his impressive scoring ability. At 6’3 he’s an explosive athlete who threw down a few nice dunks off both one and two feet. He’s one of the best in the metro area at hitting shots with a hand in his face, because with the way he releases the ball it’s almost impossible to block allowing him to remain unfazed by the defender’s presence. He was creating his own shots off the dribble in a variety of ways, scoring the ball at all three levels on the floor. There weren’t many players his size in attendance meaning he spent most of the time defending smaller guards or fighting on the block against 6’6+ forwards and he held his own against both.
