A Palasek highlight reel would show plenty of goals where he isolates from the low wing and attacks the cage, yet he scored more assisted goals (19) than unassisted goals (12) last year. Palasek is more of a creator than his assist totals lead on. When he puts the ball on cage, he is better than 50 percent on his career. Point being, when Palasek gets the ball, he is often in a position to finish.

Has the lacrosse world already passed on Chris Bocklet? He gets far too little hype for a guy who scored 30 points last season and led the MLL in goals in 2013. Bocklet is overlooked far too often. All he does is catch the ball, and put it past the goalie. He scored 24 goals in 2015.

remaining San Francisco Dragon players — yes kids, you can Google it — is it possible that Hartzell’s game has improved while his popularity has declined? Plenty of defenders can scoop up a ground ball, but most lack Hartzell’s fluidity once it is in their stick.

DeNapoli is a dirty-work player. You can’t go wrong going with a Hofstra defensive midfielder. “Kid is all heart, plays with a hyperactive intensity that is unmatched,” New York Lizards coach Joe Spallina said. “Great on the wing. A complete player. Our unsung hero.”

At the time, it was shocking to watch as Berg fell to the last pick of the second round in the MLL draft. Hurt as a rookie, the former NCAA MVP should put up bunches playing alongside John Grant Jr. and company.
