A physical, two-way playmaker
Buchanan combines a physical, two-way forward profile with playmaking. He can contribute in the attacking build-up without being defined only by his point total, and his early Carolina assists highlight the setup side of his game.
A full Nashville 18U AAA season provides the longer performance base. The move to Carolina gives an early indication that his offensive involvement can carry into a new lineup.
Performance record
42points in 50 previous-season games
7assists in six current games
The 50-game Nashville season precedes his move to Carolina Jr. Hurricanes; his first six Carolina games are a separate 18U AAA record.
Outlook
William ranks #7 overall and #6 among forwards. His scoring record supports his position on the board as the current schedule develops.
