Ian MacKay was the 2016 America East Player of the year. His game is multi-dimensional. He can create, dish, and score.
MacKay is a textbook example of a box player with a serious field game. Below are some reasons why this kid is so lethal on the field.
Athleticism – MacKay is a serious athlete. He moves well, has a great first step, can run backward, forwards, and side-ways, all while keeping his head up, eyes peeled. MacKay is big, strong, and tough.
Range – MacKay has to be respected from 13 yards & in. He can bring it from the outside, forcing defenses to slide early and turn heads constantly.
Vision – MacKay is capable of threading the needle if need be. Some say he has eyes in the back of his head (i.e. look at 35-second mark from his 2016 Season Highlights below)
Hands – ridiculous hand-eye coordination. Crazy handle when the rock is on his stick.
Poise – not fazed by stick checks, lifts, or when the defense brings body pressure.
MacKay’s game speaks for itself. His 2016 season highlights are below. Enjoy!
