SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS
The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
Alex Newhook is truly finding his offensive stride at 25, transforming from a balanced point producer into a genuine goal-scoring threat this season. While his career numbers reflect a player capable of both finishing and distributing, his current 19 goals in just 53 games, often from a sub-15 minute role, marks him as a high-impact secondary scorer with a knack for finding the back of the net.
