Brady Manek

Draft Notes

The Oklahoma transfer is a pick and pop threat who is one of the better 3pt shooting bigs in the country. Has a great stroke from 3 and a crafty scoring package…although you’d like to see him shot better from the FT line where he’s at about 70%.

He has NBA level scoring ability but isn’t a big time run/jump athlete and will likely struggle with the speed of the NBA game, especially on the defensive end. His ability to guard in space isn’t great and he’s also not much of a rim protector.

Still, his 3pt shooting at 6-9 is a highly desired skill which could land him a spot in the league.
