Joe Manning gives Southern a steady two-way guard with deep-shot touch
Manning’s value is built on efficiency, versatility, and poise: in 2024-25 at Southern he averaged 6.4 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.3 rebounds in 32 games while shooting 42.2% from the field, 41.3% from three, and 81.0% at the line.[1] He’s not a high-usage star, but his shooting gravity and solid assist-to-turnover profile make him a useful connector guard who can fit alongside scorers and keep an offense organized.[1][3] He looks like a fit for teams that want a composed perimeter piece rather than a ball-dominant creator.[1][3]
