Manning-Blanks’ game really took off toward the end of summer and he hasn’t looked back. The biggest development has been his consistency as a shooter. The Spanaway Lake point guard is now a real threat to bury shots behind the arc and hit the pullup off of quick moves. He’s shown for a while now he can be one of the shiftier guards in his class and make some incredible passes, but the development with his jumper has added another level to his game and helped him put on a great senior season where he was averaging 16.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.1 steals as of January 5th.

AJ started off the day winning the 1v1 portion of the showcase. He continued to dice defenders throughout the day and was one of the top assist guys of the afternoon. He’s a point guard with an incredible handle who can string two to three moves together and squirt through tight spaces in the interior. What has really helped AJ keep getting better is his improved jumper. It was most evident in the 1v1 portion of the showcase, where he drilled a number of threes from the top, but in the 5v5 section he was also able to diversify his drives to the hoop by incorporating more pullups from the elbows.

Prev Rank: 108 (+28)rnThis guy is a rising playmaker that has incredible ability to breakdown defenders and make passes only he can see. He has been a key guy for BDH Elite this spring, getting penetration, drawing two, three, four defenders into the paint and then finding quick passes to diving bigs or kick outs to awaiting shooters. Manning-Blanks is also an imposing figure at guard who has the strength to finish through traffic and play physical defense on the other end.
