The first thing that pops about Sauerwald is his elite finishing skills. Whether he is capping off a fast break or completing a designed play in 6v6 action, Sauerwald’s notable size, deep bag of fakes, and elite shooting skills allow him to convert on even the toughest finishes around the net. In settled possessions, Sauerwald is a master at sweeping from X to the back post or front of the crease for a catch-and-dunk goal. Out on the perimeter, Sauerwald can rip sidearms into the net from the wing. His swift release and ability to change levels produce Instagram-worthy catch-and-fire goals. Once Sauerwald has established that perimeter threat, he will execute a shot fake, or hitch move, and then dip underneath his defender for a charge to the net. On those runs to the cage, Sauerwald does a fantastic job of keeping his head up. So, when the slide comes too early, Sauerwald will move the ball to the open teammate for an assist. As a bonus to his offensive prowess, Sauerwald’s length, speed, and relentless nature make him a plus player on the ride.
