The bang bang of silky-smooth Brady Manek 3-pointers works just as well Down Under, as he is starting to heat up after a slow start to his season. In the last two games, he’s combined to score 46 points and go 11 of 15 from 3-point range. In no coincidence, his Perth Wildcats have won two consecutive games after losing their previous five.

Manek finds perimeter range, nearly puts up double-double
The Perth Wildcats are undefeated through four exhibition games, and Brady Manek started to find the perimeter range down under on a Manek Monday. The “Bang Bang” yells we heard so many times last season in Carolina games may not have happened, but the silky-smooth jumpers slithered through the nets.
Manek settling in Down Under, scores 15 in his first game
Brady Manek has been in Australia for a few weeks and made his National Basketball League debut Sunday in a preseason game. Manek scored 15 points and pulled down five rebounds in 21 minutes of his Perth Wildcats’ 97–91 victory over the Adelaide 36ers. He was 6 of 15 from the floor but couldn’t find the range from the perimeter, missing all seven 3-point field-goal attempts.
