Jackie ManuelJackie Manuel is much the same player that he ever was; a good sized strong defensive specialist perimeter player with sedate offense. He's scoring more than usual this year, averaging 13.9 points per game in 44 contests for the Erie BayHawks of the D-League, but he's played a whopping 42 mpg to do so. He is also shooting only 29% from three point range, 44% from the field, and 62% from the line. If Manuel was two inches taller, better at rebounding in traffic, and had the lure of being a foreigner, someone might think he was the next
Thabo Sefolosha. But, now aged 27, a growth spurt doesn't seem too likely.
