Michael Manning brings low-usage, guard-forward versatility to NJIT
Manning’s current box-score profile suggests a role player who can handle the ball a bit, rebound from the wing, and defend multiple spots, though his 2023-24 production was modest at 3.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game with a 31.8% field-goal rate[1]. He looks like a fit for teams that value toughness, positional flexibility, and doing the little things over high-usage scoring, but the numbers also indicate he is still searching for consistent efficiency and offensive rhythm[1][3].
