Will Wade wasn't sure whether or not Charles Manning Jr. would admit it, but coming off the bench suits the junior wing's game.
Of course, that's just Wade's opinion, but it's backed by evidence.
The 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting Manning posted in Tuesday's 77-50 win over UMBC don't hurt Wade's claim.
Neither does the team-high plus-22 plus-minus he posted in 21 minutes, or the three rebounds and a steal he tallied.
"I don't know if he'd admit this, but I think coming off the bench has helped him," Wade says of Manning.
