Found him. Not a starter on a loaded Staley team (3rd in the state). Saw him play some. quick hands on defense and looked to be a quick jumper/shooter inside.
Transferred to Staley his Junior year with no Varsity minutes, so it took him a minute to figure out the rotations. He will be a key guy for Staley this coming season, that's for sure.

Welcome aboard, Cameron! Looks like a late bloomer that we were able to capitalize on.

6’9” guy who can get out in transition, handle the ball, and shoot from the outside? I like what I see, and I look forward to seeing him playing in lineups with Robbie in the near future.
 
Get him on the Myles Walker meal plan and he will be a nightmare with his apparent commitment to playing D and hitting the glass.

Agreed. I like that the videos I’ve seen of him all show him playing down low and/or taking the ball to the rim. He’s a big who can handle the ball, but he’s not obsessed with shooting the three.
 
Here’s the game that’s rob Martin’s cbc vs Cameron manyawu’s Staley. Martin has a pretty good game. Manyawu comes off the bench.

This is one of the best produced high school games you are going to find on YouTube. Probably better than your average espn3/ESPN+ broadcast. Just saying cause it’s not a struggle to watch like most high school games are on stream.

...and he's deceptively quick for a big man.

When he moved to Staley last Fall, he was utilized as a 5 all season long. He shot 2 three's, all coming post season and rarely put the ball on the floor. That all charged come AAU when he moved from Mokan to 816 Hoops, these were all deliberate moves to develop his outside game and move him from the 5. He is still a WIP on working on shooting mechanics and implementing that jumper. Obviously this will take some time to develop, very big upside here.

Agreed!!
Rob is a joy to watch, very smart PG.
 
It will be interesting to see how his final year in high school be based on how they utilize his skillset. After watching videos I am having a difficult time recalling the last player ISU had with a similar skillset and upside. 6'8", can run, can finish inside, has a good handle for a Big... Maybe Laravia - but Laravia probably had a better shot at this point.... I would say that Cameron has better shot blocking ability than Laravia.

I would be thrilled if he can block shots like Williams and LaRavia. He definitely gives us some bounce inside. Hope he keeps improving.
