Kid can really shoot, though. Has some defensive chops as well.

I've always liked Manek. Wish there was a bit more playmaking and I question the defensive role he'd play, but his stroke is so nice. And he's not completely unathletic or anything like that.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

He probably fits in the current NBA on his floor stretching ability alone. At 6'9" with that stroke he'll be fine. I still question him defensively against NBA talent. If he can hold his own 1 on 1 with Power Forward and Centres I can see him having success.

Shows some high IQ in those clips too.

Bet on smarts.
