2019 NLL Entry Draft Results
Round 1
1. New York

What Stephen Stamp of the NLL and IL Indoor said about Tyson Gibson in advance of the 2019 NLL Entry Draft:
Gibson has been a key contributor to the Shamrocks run to a Mann Cup berth this summer, more than making up for any concerns after he was limited to six games and just 12 points in his sophomore regular season in the WLA. Gibson is a horse with an effective inside game and unselfish approach that will make him a popular teammate.

2nd pick of the 2019 @NLL DRAFT – Ryland Rees! @RocKnighthawks @StonyBrookMLAX pic.twitter.com/xiyNyFsluT

What Stephen Stamp of the NLL and IL Indoor said about Ryland Rees in advance of the 2019 NLL Entry Draft:
Rees is a special athlete with a chance to be a player around whom you can build the core of your franchise. Just look at the difference Graeme Hossack makes and how teams have to prepare when they play against him. I don’t see Rees as being at the level of Hossack as a shutdown defender, but few players are, given that Hossack is the best defender to come into the NLL since Kyle Rubisch. Rees is, however, a very good defender with size, strength, speed and the stick skills to contribute in transition.

3. New England (from Philadelphia)
3RD PICK of the @NLL Draft for @NEBlackWolves is @Kewball42 @TampaMLax pic.twitter.com/E7hLBfcgTR

What Stephen Stamp of the NLL and IL Indoor said about Andrew Kew in advance of the 2019 NLL Entry Draft:
Back to back seasons leading the Oakville Rock in scoring have put Kew 26th in Major Series Lacrosse scoring over the last five years even though he’s only played two seasons in the league. That gives you an idea of how quickly he’s adjusted to playing at the highest levels of the game. The big lefty’s excellent outside shot and floor vision should allow him to make the same kind of immediate impact in the NLL.
