PEORIA — Everything is in place for Bradley forward Elijah Childs to improve on what was an outstanding debut as a freshman.
Childs averaged 8.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 50 percent from the field. His blocks average ranked third in the Missouri Valley Conference and his rebound average was eighth. And he did all that playing just 21 minutes per game.
