Nyala Pendergrass brings defensive activity and upside in a limited role for Manhattan
Pendergrass is a low-minute guard/forward whose value shows up in energy plays rather than volume scoring, with career moments like a two-steal game and a four-point high at Lafayette hinting at hustle and defensive instincts. In the 2025-26 season, ESPN lists her at 0.3 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.1 assists per game on 22.9% shooting, so she is more developmental depth than finished product right now. If your team needs a versatile, effort-first wing who can compete defensively and grow into a bigger role, she is worth a look.
