Manny Ochenje brings efficient role-player value to Pepperdine’s frontcourt
Ochenje is a low-usage forward whose value comes from doing the small things: in 2025-26 he is averaging 1.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 43.2% shooting, while Pepperdine’s roster note shows he has been capable of efficient finishing in conference play and has flashed a season-high eight points. He fits best as a glue guy rather than a primary scorer—useful for teams that want size, simple offense, and dependable effort, though he is not yet a high-volume production piece.
