Bird also was a big part of Drury's road victory over Mt. Greylock and home victory over Wahconah when he posted eight points, nine rebounds, three assists and 13 points, eight rebounds, and three assists respectively.
Bird makes a tough matchup for any defender as he can use his 6'3" size in the post but also demands respect outside at the 3-point arc. Bird is currently leading the Blue Devils in scoring (12.9 points/game), assists (2.5/game), rebounds (7.6/game), and is tied for the team lead with 11 3-pointers. Drury is a team that prides itself on defense and if Bird can continue to be a difference maker on the offensive end, the Blue Devils should be a pesky opponent to any team they face in the playoffs.
