it's a slow news day so i'll keep chiming in.  imo, mencke is nothing like cormier other than they're lefties and sometimes would want to  occupy the same space on the low left wing, similar shot mechanics, too.

cormier spends 95% of his time sliding from low left wing to crease and left pipe.  occasionally taking a matchup from the wing.

virginia used mencke in 1st fall as the qb of their 2nd attack.  from behind and wing.  dodger, shooter and feeder.

here is what they said about him - "Passionate to be an impactful offensive threat… Surveys the field superbly while dodging, making pinpoint passes to teammates’ sticks… Anticipates openings in the crease really well… Does not let the opposing defense relax as he is always probing, ready to feed or let it rip himself.”

in high school, he had ~170 gs and ~140 assists.

having 2 lefties is somewhat unorthodox, but it can be done.  syracuse did as much, and virginia did the same in reverse with laviano/moore/kraus w similar skillsets.  even shellenberger/moore/laviano at times in 2019 all righties.  a good oc can figure it out, a mencke and cormier would have to make sure they're not stepping in each other's way on the wing.  fast breaks maybe not perfect but there aren't a ton of those and mencke does have a right.

anyway... this is all hypothetical, he may never see the field.  i'm saying if he does, he's overcome all the thinking you're talking about bc he is that good and that may mean uva could be a problem for anyone.
