Up Close With Jackie Manuel

Posted Oct 18, 2007

There was a time when Jackie Manuel was in the spotlight, too. His defensive efforts helped the North Carolina Tar Heels capture the 2005 NCAA Championship. He has never been able to match the success of that title run, though, and this season he find himself fighting for a spot on the Celtics. Manuel has winning experience, but will that be enough to land a place on the overflowing Celtics preseason roster? (Hoops World)
