James Jewell is a length-and-effort wing still carving out his role at Manhattan
Jewell is a 6-5 Manhattan forward whose current production is modest—2.1 points and 0.8 rebounds in 2025-26—but he brings size, a developing frame, and efficiency from the field, which suggests a low-usage role player with upside rather than a volume scorer. Manhattan’s roster notes show he arrived midyear and played in 15 games, while his background includes time at Southern California Academy and Louisville, pointing to a player with some outside-the-box development path and upside if his motor and consistency keep climbing.
