Comments: This Hi-Liner is an underrated athlete and a tireless worker. Finn gets after it defensively, makes hustle plays all over the court, and is quick to jump on a loose ball. On offense, Dockter is an opportunistic baller who score from multiple levels; he is also an unselfish creator.

Finn Doctor is Valley City’s breakout candidate this season after an impressive offseason and a strong club campaign with Sanford Sports. He will be a vital part of the Hi-Liners, expected to start and play all three guard positions when needed, with the versatility to slide into the small forward spot at times. Dr. Finn’s ball-handling skills will be key in bringing the ball up the court and navigating any full-court pressure the team faces. Offensively, he can score in multiple ways — from spot-up shooting to creating off the dribble and finishing at the rim. Finn can also post up smaller defenders effectively, making him a versatile scoring threat. He’ll be counted on to score consistently in double figures. Arguably, the strongest part of his game is his defense. Finn takes great pride in shutting down opponents and will be tasked with guarding the other team’s top player, serving as a defensive leader and anchor for the Hi-Liners.
