Expert Analysis
Eric Bretz | Prep Lacrosse Scout
One of the first things you see when watching Iliescu play is his size. He is a multi-sport athlete, awarded 2nd team All-Group 5 as a linebacker and you can see he uses his size to his advantage on the lacrosse field as well. He is a stocky, strong and physical player who utilizes that strength to absorb stick checks and bounce off of body checks with a good low-center of gravity and balance. When defending from the midfield position, he puts that strength to good use when sliding or forcing a player down the alley. The BBL product currently sits 2nd on his team in points (45) and first in assists (28), showcasing his vision when drawing a double team and playing smart with the ball. When dodging, he invites contact and is a threat with both hands, not afraid to get into the teeth of the defense and take a hit along the way. He has a smooth shot either on the run or with time and room and places the ball in tough spots for goaltenders to track. Southern is out to an outstanding 10-2 record thus far and Iliescu has been a critical aspect of this Rams offensive unit.
