Lim is a tenacious on-ball defender who this summer did a fantastic job of causing turnovers by blending a physical approach to defense with his active stick. This rising sophomore arrived early to ballcarriers and frequently took the body to gain an edge. Once his opponent was off balance, Lim unleashed heavy stick checks, lifts and can openers. That combination of techniques frequently put the ball on the turf. Once the ball was on the ground, Lim was quick to secure the GB and fire a clearing pass up field. Lim’s patience, polished footwork and textbook fundamentals helped him shut down dodges from behind the net as well as the wing. On the July circuit, Lim also proved that he is a high IQ team defender with excellent communication skills.

Lim is the type of pole that offensive players despise going against. This freshman is a menacing on-ball presence who puts relentless pressure on his opponent via his active stick and physicality. Lim’s polished footwork and anticipation skills enable him to stay glued to a ball carrier for long stretches, or he can get into a ball carrier early in his dodge and dislodge the rock. Lim is especially adept at using can openers and overhead checks to put the ball on the ground. He is also a master at defending ball carriers 1v1 behind the net. His ability to lean on an opposing player initiating from X and keep that opponent from turning the corner is impressive. Additionally, Lim is a high-IQ team defender who executes slides and double teams effectively.
