Twitter reacts to Brady Manek’s summer league performance
The annual NBA Summer League is underway, and a few former UNC basketball players are getting a shot to prove they belong, including fan favorite Brady Manek.
Manek signed with the Atlanta Hawks days before the summer league kicked off, and fans are already pushing for the modern-day Larry Bird to snag a roster spot after strong performances. Manek had a strong performance to kick off his Hawks journey, finishing with 17 points, including five 3s.
On Sunday night, Manek performed under the bright lights again, finishing with 10 points and six rebounds while shooting 57.1% from the field. Along with the strong offensive performance, Manek showed his ability to defend with two blocks.
Unsurprisingly, these performances provoked quite a reaction: Fans admired Manek’s game with his unique look. The ability to stretch the floor and charm the fans had been why UNC fans gravitated toward Manek when he transferred, and NBA fans are getting a taste.
Let us look at how Twitter reacted to Manek’s big performances.

– Brady Manek is a NBA caliber player, idk if it’ll be for the hawks tho
– It’s good that Bufkin is being challenged this early, not worried about his struggles
– Great job gang rebounding as a unit
– 5 out offense from the Hawks 👀— TRAE YOUNG ALL-DEFENSE 2023 (@deathrowdj) July 10, 2023
Brady Manek 10 points on 4/7 shooting (only attempted (2) 3s 6 rebounds .. another solid outing. @ATLHawks imo could possibly give BM the 3rd two-way

Another night, another emphatic call for the @ATLHawks to sign @BradyManek . Yet another solid performance. Scores the ball, makes winning plays, outstanding team player. Two words:
Contract. Immediately.

In today’s game, I think Brady Manek deserves a shot at a two-way contract.

I think there is a spot for a guy who hustles and spaces the floor like Brady Manek. He's Kurt Rambis or Mark Madsen with a 3 Ball!!!
