Josia Manzi
SG/SF/PF (Will enter league as SG)
6'11"
210 lbs
19
Zimbabwe (Plays professionally in Spain)
Possible Ratings: C A- C C+ C+ B
Strengths
-High release and size makes jump shot "unblockable".
-Extremely high basketball IQ. Uses angles and openings like no other.
-Shooting ability rivals Glen Rice Jr. RIGHT NOW.
-Creates a big size mismatch when playing on the wing.
-Takes great care of the ball.
-Versatile, can play and guard the 2/3/4.
Weaknesses
-Lacks the frame to put on the weight necessary to be an inside presence.
-Rarely takes the ball off the dribble.
-Underwhelming athlete, lacks quickness.
-Lacks the star quality of some other players in the draft.
Outlook
Frustrated with the lack of polished players from his home continent, Manzi grew up obsessed with perfecting the technical aspects of his game. At best he could make a couple of All Star teams, but Manzi is the mark of efficiency.
Idolized Jon Elmore as a kid.
