Oregon’s 6-3 forward who grew into a reliable rebound-and-finish presence
In the 2007-08 season, Ellie Manou emerged as a steady interior threat for Oregon, averaging 7.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while shooting 48.2% from the floor, then finishing the year even stronger with 10.2 points and 6.6 rebounds over the Ducks’ last five games. Her calling card is size, rebounding, and efficient scoring around the rim, plus a clear trend of improvement that earned her the team’s Most Improved Player honor. If a roster needs a forward who can battle inside, finish through contact, and keep getting better, she’s a very sensible fit.
