In an ideal world, you have a guy at attack with both the dodging ability of a Dordevic and the feeding ability of a Hiltz or Spallina. Unfortunately those are the true unicorns of the game that end up on the mount rushmore of all time lacrosse players. Pat Kavanaugh is maybe the only name that came close to fitting that description last season. Even guys like Oneill and Shellenberger get taken out of the game by certain longpole matchups.

I think Hiltz and Spallina are the closest we get to that complete attackmen. Since their skills are skewed towards feeding, I think having a guy like Deere who (in theory) can catch and bury anything thrown in his direction, along with getting them open through two man game looks, is best to compliment their skills. There will also be matchups where Hiltz and Spallina are drawing slides. I think a guy like Leo is probably the closest to fitting your description of a guy who can dodge no matter who is guarding him. Would certainly be open to trying that out if teams can easily contain Deere, or he struggles to find the cage at a high rate.
