I'm not sure I would say Manyawu is a no brainer. He started all 37 games and averaged 6.6 pts, 4.6 rebounds, 19 minutes/game and only 20 total blocks. He doesn't shoot 3's and he's a liability at the end of the game with teams doing the "hack a shaq" special on him. I think you start Trey Thompson/Ethan Harris or Ty'Reek Coleman instead of Cam. You bring in Cam defensively when you need a big body on a Power Forward. I think McKeever and Jirak can man the center position.
Ben's offensive system requires a guy who is money at setting on-ball screens and that's Cam. He's an unbelievably great screener. I think he starts next year.

Iowa has certainly had some nepotism issues via Brian Ferentz as o-coordinator and the McCaffrey boys in hoops. Fortunately/hopefully, those are issues of the past.
Clearly, I don't agree with that. Or at least, don't believe that claim can rightfully be made.

Why do you make such a claim?

There is only 1 ball on offense he doesnt need to score. And Cam's effectiveness will increase playing guys his own size instead of the 7 ft+ monsters he was trying battle all year last year.

I think Howard is the sleeper of the group same with Sage … both are going to be breakout players I believe this coming season
