Panagopoulos is an athletic and rangy pole who can create turnovers via stick checks, lifts, overheads, pokes, can openers and of course by taking the body. He also has a habit of snagging ill-advised passes out of the air. Thanks to his crafty stick and tenacity, Panagopoulos is a ground ball machine too. Once the ball is in his possession, Panagopoulos will race into the offensive to create a scoring opportunity. His nifty stick maneuvers are an underrated part of Panagopoulos's game. Panagopoulos owns a high IQ and excellent communication skills, so he is able navigate screens and stay connected to his defensive unit. College coaches will also love that Panagopoulos is a plus player in the clearing game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["120924"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":167404,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6904d3e6bcc2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This speedy and elusive attack is comfortable operating from anywhere in the offensive end. Roubic can initiate from X, the wing or up top, race past his defender and then navigate through the help slides for a scoring opportunity on the doorstep. Roubic's deep bag of spins, cutbacks and nifty stick maneuvers make him impossible to stop. Thus, Roubic is the frequent recipient of double teams and early slides. In those situations, Roubic will patiently re-dodge or move the ball to an open man. To be honest, this talented lefty is a highly underrated passer. Lastly, Roubic's non-stop motor makes him a tenacious presence on the ride. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["167397"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":167406,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6904d3e6bcc92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Show is a highly skilled lefty prospect who can run at attack or midfield. At attack, Show creates serious match-up issues when he operates from X. His astonishing first step and change of direction moves enable Show to lose the initial defender and then turn the corner for a dunk. Show's ability to play with both hands frequently produces Instagram worthy finishes in close. He can also initiate from behind the net and then drive up the hash for a jump shot. Additionally, from the left-wing spot, Show is an extraordinary catch and shoot attack. When he is on the wing, Show's smooth hitch move followed by a dip underneath leads to clean looks around the crease Out on the perimeter, Show can dial up long-range step-downs or sidearms on the run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["167398"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":167408,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6904d3e6bccf3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">College coaches will obsess over Strazzini's ability to invert and then cook a short stick from behind the net. Once he blows past the initial defender at X, Strazzini can turn the corner and then finish in a multitude of ways. He can also lose his defender and then drive up the hash for a jump shot. When he dodges from the wing or up top, Strazzini's speed and shifty moves enable him to race through the entire opposing defense for an overhand or sidearm in close. Strazzini also has a solid level of physicality to his game. Thus, at times he can push through body checks or even bully a defender until he gets to his spots. Off the ball, Strazzini smartly cuts or drifts into open space for clean looks. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["167399"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6904d3e6bcd53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The two items that immediately pop about Wilson are his imposing size and ability to play with both hands. When you combine those assets with Wilson's speed, athleticism and shooting skills, you get a lacrosse unicorn. Wilson can initiate from up top, get downhill, run through the sliding defenders, and then fire on the run. Or he can sweep across the opposing defense from the wing until he finds space for a crank. At 6-foot-5, Wilson has mastered the art of using a swim dodge to blow past the initial defender and then attack the cage. Wilson can rip long range step downs into the back of the net too. His long strides and field vision make him a plus player in transition, where he is a threat to shoot or to draw a slide and then distribute. Wilson was recently named the Offensive MVP of the Fall Uncommitted One Percent Showcase.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
