Manhertz has been such an intriguing prospect to watch over the years, as one could see the potential in his game; we were just waiting for it to come together. It did just that over the last year or so, as he displayed confidence and assertiveness with his game. As a 6’8 wing prospect, Manhertz has tools that make him highly intriguing, especially with his length and shot-making. He continues to thrive with his ability to be a perimeter threat, being an effective scorer from behind the arc. But he continued to add more and mix it up offensively with his game, using his length and fluidity to his advantage. But again, Manhertz still is a player that you sit and wonder… “What will he ultimately be?” He is one that will need to continue to develop and adjust with physicality, adding strength and weight to handle the next level, but one could also see the same trajectory that we saw a while back with Trey Murphy III. With that narrative, it was easy to see why schools quickly jumped on board with him, especially with what he showed this past year.
What Has Been Said By Phenom Hoops:
“We recently wrote about the latest going on after earning his first D1 offer from Boston University. And we got a great view this past weekend at the Phenom Seros Open, which included an impressive 38-point performance vs. Game Elite. Many have compared him with Trey Murphy, another prospect who came through North Carolina and was a bit of a late bloomer. You can see a lot of similar trends with both of them: lengthy prospects with size, shot-making ability from deep, and late bloomers. Manhertz is a highly intriguing prospect with his 6’7 and shotmaking ability, making it look effortless at times with his range and ability to rise up over defenders or get to his spots well. But you can see that he is continuing to add more to his overall feel, making plays off the bounce, gaining more confidence in his offensive capabilities, and getting stronger as a player. But again, I believe he is far from a finished product, as he should only develop more at the next level.”
“Manhertz may have been the breakout player of the event with what he showed; we have been waiting for this young man and he has now arrived, as we could see the potential in his game, but everything had to come together. Well, we have arrived at that point, as Manhertz clearly put himself with some of the best in his class. Great length and size at 6’7, has big-time shot making from deep with a fluid/ effortless release, and you can see his confidence growing by the day with his ability to score in other ways. Manhertz did a great job creating, being a huge threat from deep, and making high IQ plays, and we believe he still has room for even more growth.”
