Thamba lacks traditional height at the center position. That said, he is effective inside with his strength and reminds me of Theo John in that way. Thamba did hit a 15-footer here. Showing that range consistently would only add to his productivity.

Thamba is a power forward who protects the rim and can score with her back to the basket. He has strong hands and can flush dunks over defenders.
