Draft night came and went without hearing Brady Manek’s name called. It’s a shame, as Tar Heel fans know what the stretch-four grad transfer can bring to an NBA franchise, particularly in the modern basketball era that calls for space and shooting. But not all is lost. After the dust had settled, and undrafted free agents signed with teams looking to fill roster spots, Brady Manek got a chance.
The Charlotte Hornets added Manek to their 2022 Summer League roster. That roster will fill out in the coming days, so it will be worth monitoring who Manek is surrounded with.
