Jackie Manuel is an outstanding athlete who can jump with the best of them. Has great instincts on the defensive end, terrific lateral movement and can guard the 1-3 positions. Has a good wingspan; blocks shots, gets in the passing lanes and can provide a good sparkplug off the bench if needed. High character player who will do whatever is asked of him. Has 4 years of experience playing at the highest level NCAA basketball has to offer. Has been asked to guard all the best perimeter players in the ACC over his collegiate career. Very competitive player, attacks the rim and does a great job on the glass because of his tenacity, wingspan and athletic ability. Not afraid to sacrafice his body to come up with the charge.

Manuel wasn't considered a draft prospect by most until he put on a show for the scouts at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. He only played in two games in the tournament, but really boosted his stock by showing some sparks of having an offensive game. His ball-handling and slashing ability was the biggest surprise here, as well as reminding everyone what an incredible athlete he is.
