Stock up: Nico Mannion, G, Arizona

I had Nico Mannion in my top ten on my first big board of the year, yet somehow his start to this season has made that seem way-too-low. I know, it is early, but if he keeps this up, the sky is the limit.

Mannion is averaging 13 points, two rebounds, and four assists on over 50 percent shooting from the floor. From deep, Mannion is almost stroking the trey ball at a 50 percent clip, registering at 47 percent from 3 point distance. The Freshman Phenom has also tossed four assists per game and hauled in a pair of rebounds per contest.

Nico Mannion is more than just a sharpshooter, what has caught my eye this season is his handles and his ability to drive to the basket. Both those skillsets were on full display in this clip.

Mannion and his Wildcats will take on Long Beach State in round one of the Wooden Classic tournament. However, this Thanksgiving week tournament lacks any real competition for Arizona.
