I'm not sure what the driving force was (we aren't in the huddle or team meetings obviously) but it seemed like the coaches liked to put him in different situations, depending on matchups. Against Stony Brook he was shooting from far out and directing the offense. Against Duke, Desko said they were using him as a decoy since the Devils had matched him up with Giles-Harris.  And yes, he did dodge but not a lot, against Albany he did a standard speed dodge and ended up one on one with the goalie.  He showed he was capable. In the high school film I saw of him it was the same thing, capable but didn't do it a lot.

Overall the offense seemed disjointed for most of the year, I think the coaches had a hard time deciding who they should go to in specific situations. Similar to Duke in a way, though I think Duke's strategy was more egregious since they had Sowers.  I mean, they had Hiltz playing second line midfield to start the year. The lack of preseason practice and scrimmaging I think really hurt this team. Surprising given that the entire offense came back minus Lipka, but its easy to think they could have sorted out a lot of issues had they had more time/practice.
