6'6" Senegalese Forward Seynabou Thiam Brings Elite Prep Dominance and Defensive Grit to San Francisco
Seynabou Thiam, a 6'6" forward from Dakar, Senegal, is a high-intensity defensive presence for the San Francisco Dons whose college stats (3.2 PPG, 3.3 RPG in 2024-25) reflect a developing role rather than her elite prep ceiling of 15 PPG, 15 RPG, and 5 BPG per game [1][4]. Her differentiator is her physicality and rebounding instinct, evidenced by a career-high 18 rebounds and a season-best six rebounds against Gonzaga in February 2025 [2][5]. While she is still adapting to the NCAA pace, her intensity, defensive versatility (averaging five blocks in prep), and international background make her a high-upside fit for teams needing a physical, rebounding forward who can grow into a double-double contributor [1][3].
