Terance Mann is starting to look like a player capitalizing on the perfect role

The “swingman” distinction is so grossly overused in basketball that I’m not even sure we really know what it means anymore. No, seriously, I had to look it up to make sure. I was right, thankfully, and correctly re-established the definition in my brain as “a player who can play both the shooting guard and small forward positions, in essence swinging between the positions.” Of course, there’s more to it than merely being a player with a chameleonic identity, but it’s a good start.

Terance Mann, however, is the kind of player who takes on the “swingman” appellation, but as he commits to it, he destroys it.
