Basketball season is nearly upon us and we at Keeping it Heel couldn’t be happier. Another thing that excites us and many of the Tar Heel faithful is the development of sophomore Sterling Manley.
Manley is trying to make a name for himself in UNC’s muddled frontcourt. A healthy body and a more polished skill set should help take the leap from role player to a relied upon contributor.
To do so, he will have to separate from fellow sophomore Garrison Brooks. Though Brooks started on a consistent basis, it was Manley who averaged the most points and rebounds of the two.
