As the 2025 Premier Lacrosse League season kicks off, analysts Paul Carcaterra and Quint Kessenich discuss top teams and players for the upcoming season. Carcaterra predicts the Boston Cannons will excel in the East with a strong offensive lineup, while Kessenich favors the New York Atlas for their explosive play. In the West, both agree on the Utah Archers as frontrunners, bolstered by MVP Tom Schreiber's return. Key players and strategies are expected to play critical roles in determining the outcome of the championship.
I expect the offense to be explosive, with the combination of the right-handed Marcus Holman, the distributor with a point guard mentality in Asher Nolting, and the left-handed sniper in rookie Coulter Mackesy.
With Schreiber healthy, this team only gets better on offense because of his ability to create his own shot and pass at an elite level to incredible goal scorers such as Mac O'Keefe and Connor Fields.
The offense might get the headlines, but at the end of the day this is an underrated defense.
I expect them to better judge the finish line in 2025 -- and finish with authority.
