"Mañon has a special knack and feel on defensive side of ball, as through the first few games of the G League season, he recorded 10 steals and nine blocks. Mañon was the most slept on prospect coming out of Vanderbilt and has also shown the ability to knock down threes throughout his time with South Bay so far. Be on look out for Mañon to earn a guaranteed contract soon whether it would be with the Lakers or elsewhere."
