Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Lyman proved at NHSLS that he’s a dynamic offensive playmaker. In the half I watched against Blue Ridge, he dished out two assists and added a goal, showing how versatile he can be. He’s efficient shooting on the run, with his feet set, and when he’s cutting to the ball. Most of his scoring comes from his off-ball work—catching defenders sleeping, timing his cuts, and finding open gaps for step-downs. When he finds those pockets, he does a great job extending his hands to get real velocity on his shot and mixes his release points to keep goalies guessing. His vision pops, too. He generates a ton of points by threading passes through tight windows. And if you need someone to break a ride, Lyman is that guy—he’s fast, confident with the ball, and not afraid to run through double teams at the midline.
