Sander's hitting percentage has been low but he seems to consistently come up with clutch plays when they are needed, and he is always firing up his teammates who otherwise are mostly cool/calm. His serving especially and his passing from the back have been strong too. The team is playing with tremendous confidence right now, they fell behind in the first two sets but came back to win both.

It's great that Erik is getting the love, he's not only covering a lot of ground and making some highlight digs but his passes have been solid even from tough positions.

I generally watch the pin hitters, but Erik's the best player on the floor most nights.  He's the best libero easily in the tournament.  Micah is a superb setter, and Russell and Anderson are terrific pin hitters.  Still not sold on Sander, but he's playing better every match.
