nothing against him – most players arent able to play more than 1 or maybe 2 positions.

that said – he’s a killer wing or SG. and does a lot from that spot – rebounds, scores, dishes, defends, etc.

jk….

I think Manny is more versatile then Hummel. Hummel has a little size on Manny but I will take Manny playing the PG spot over Hummel and I think they would be semi equal stats wise down low although Hummel would be better defensively due to his size. But Manny would make up for that with his athleticism.

I have serious doubts about Manny’s ability to play PG (mostly the role of bringing the ball up the court on a majority of possessions). In his first two years, I was always scared when Manny was bringing the ball up the court. He’s great with the ball when slashing to the hoop, but I can recall too many times when Manny got a steal and immediately turned the ball back over because of a travel or a wild pass. Hopefully he has improved handles this year because I feel those extra possessions may be the key to winning some tough games and it’s probably a key for his draft stock.

And in Beilein’s offense, there isn’t much of a difference between the two guards (1 and 2), so I don’t think Manny fits either of these positions.

Obviously Manny can play the small forward position well.

And I feel that Manny would struggle if he played at the power forward and (obviously) center positions. Manny is a great defender when he wants to be, but matching up with some of the 4′s and all of the 5′s (especially on bigger teams like Ohio St. and Wisconsin) would take its toll. I don’t think Manny would be the same player on offense because he would have to expend way too much energy on the defensive end. I kind of saw this with Novak last year when he was really battling. And we all know Manny is best on offense when he is active. There would be times last year where Manny wouldn’t move much and it ruined the flow of the offense.

While I don’t think Manny can play much at the 4 or the 5, I do believe he can rebound with these guys any time he wants to. I love when he goes up strong for a rebound because it seems like he always comes down with the board.
