The sophomore guard from Sarasota has all the tools to be a major prospect, and is producing night in and night out for the Sailors. The 6’2″ PG has great size and strength for his age, and plays the game with a cool and calm demeanor. He has a tremendous basketball IQ, and great court vision which make him a true floor general every time he steps on the court. Lackaff can score from just about anywhere on the floor, and may have one of the smoothest and most efficient 3-point shots in the state.

Lackaff is a SCORER! A legit multi-level scorer, Lackaff can punish you from all over the court as an offensive option. A deadeye shooter from deep, he can also pump fake and drive to the rim for a finish through traffic and does not shy away from harm. He can take a good deal of contact and physicality due to his frame as well. Lackaff has a ton of tricks in his offensive bag as well. He never gets sped up and plays under control, can triple-threat and drive past his defender for a two dribble pull up move, or get all the way to the basket. His three-point shooting impresses as well and he shoots with great confidence. Keep an eye on Lackaff for the rest of the summer as he will surely be moving up rankings as the circuit continues.
