Ft. Worth's Manny Gakou is an absolute glass eater

Gakou as a member of the Pink Flamingos in 2019

I’ve always had a soft spot for rebounders. Give me a tough rebound in traffic over a dunk 100% of the time.

Manny Gakou is putting up Rodman-like rebounding stats in the Ft. Worth League this Spring. After 3 games, Gakou is averaging 27.7 points and 24.3 rebounds per game. The 6’7”, 240lbs Gakou had 27 rebounds, 12 on the offensive glass, in Hoop Dreams 73-71 win over Black Bulls in Week 3. He finished with a PPR of 51.3 to top all of UH Nation on Monday night.

Gakou currently leads the Ft. Worth League in PRA and rebounding this season after 3 games.

Is the League MVP next in sight for Gakou?
