-Did a really good job of ordering team 5 to emphasize spacing and timing with his team so that the ball flowed well throughout the afternoon. Manning was probably the top performing PG on the day but also showed the improved skillset as a defender and scorer. Manning scored off a steal and lay, hit a C+S 3 in transition from the wing, dribbled into a 3 from the top of the key, took advantage of a ballhandler not paying attention to poke out a steal and finish at the rim at the other end, hit his defender with a hesi into the spin move and lay off glass. The most impressive play for me was when the ball came off his fingers fast after collecting a steal to whip it to a teammate upcourt for 2. Just the speed of his scan up floor and how quickly it converted into him throwing that 1-handed dime to his teammate shows his development even since the end of last season.
