Former UNC basketball standout Brady Manek won the hearts of Tar Heels’ fans last season with his emergence towards the end of the year and the NCAA Tournament. Manek became a starter late in the season and was very effective for the Tar Heels in the tournament run.
Following his career with Oklahoma and North Carolina, Manek participated in the NBA Summer League but then signed on with the Perth Wildcats to play overseas. And he made an impact in his first game.
Manek scored 15 points in his debut, a preseason game for Perth over the weekend. He also grabbed 5 rebounds in the game.
Perth is set for the season opener on October 2nd and Manek is expected to play a big role for the team. If you’re looking to cheer for Manek and support him while he’s in Australia, you can buy a jersey of his as well.
