I developed an even greater appreciation for Madden’s game this past week. He’s a relentless dodger who consistently applies pressure to the opposition, whether he’s attacking downhill, sweeping across the top, or creating from behind the cage. Often demanding a longpole matchup, he also does a great job taking advantage when matched up with a shorty, and his first step and shake have proven to be tough for them to handle. Madden is a heady player who makes the right decision every time, and he’s exceptional when dodging to feed as well. His rollback is difficult to stop, and he has a knack for getting back to the middle to get his hands free and for knifing through defenses for hard-nosed goals. Plus, he’s a tough customer when he’s stuck on the defensive end and can provide the clamps there if need be. I have a feeling that he’ll find a nice home this fall, as he checks a lot of boxes in terms of what coaches look for in offensive weapons.
