SEMO’s Manny Patterson brings veteran size, efficient finishing, and steady frontcourt toughness
In the 2021-22 season, Manny Patterson gave Southeast Missouri State a reliable interior option: 8.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and a team-best 59.0% shooting while starting regularly as a 6-8 forward. He’s a seasoned, physical veteran who can protect the rim, get to the line, and make winning plays without needing the ball to be called for him—classic glue-guy stuff with a bit of edge. His value is less about flashy volume and more about consistent two-way effort, maturity, and low-maintenance production, which makes him the kind of forward coaches trust when the game gets grippy and weird.
