A speedster from Sayville, Echezuria made his presence felt in a short time, flying under the radar because he only played in three June events due to a foot injury. That being said, he’s getting plenty of attention from college programs, and for good reason. Echezuria, a top performer for Mike Chanenchuk’s St. Anthony’s JV team, has a rather well-rounded skill set and helps boost his team in a variety of ways, namely because he dodges like he’s shot out of a cannon. With his first step and high-level quicks, he’s able to win his matchups with relative ease and get underneath the defenses when initiating dodges from up top, demonstrating his range and smooth shooting stroke from there. He’s also excellent from below the goal line and can finish around the cage thanks to his soft hands and crafty stick skills, a piece that I didn’t expect to see on his highlight reel given the abundance of attack talent on the Express roster. In addition, Echezuria is dangerous in space and savvy in the clearing game, doing a really nice job going from defense to offense. I’ll be intrigued to see where he winds up.
