The Premier Lacrosse League has an incredible crop of rookies that have had amazing seasons thus far in 2022. In this 215th episode of the LaxFactor Podcast I'm going to talk about these PLL first years including Brendan Nichtern (Chrome), Logan Wisnauskas (Chrome), Chris Gray (Atlas), Asher Nolting (Cannons), Matt Moore (Archers) and Jack Hannah (Waterdogs). Each has had a great rookie campaign, but to me, Nichtern and Wisnauskas have stood above the rest. Both are top 5 in points with Nicthern tied for 2nd in the lead with Teat and Pannell (not bad company). Gray has been great playing alongside Jeff Teat and the duo could be the best two-man tandem in the PLL, at least in terms of youth and production. Nolting has looked solid playing with Lyle Thompson and will likely learn a ton from the GOAT as it relates to carrying the rock and generating for both himself and others. Moore and Hannah have both played very well running out of the box.
