Handje Tamba brings rebounding, rim protection, and low-usage efficiency to St. John’s
Tamba is a high-motor center whose value comes from doing the dirty work: in the 2024-25 season at Milligan, he averaged 10.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and shot 50.4% from the field, then in limited 2025-26 minutes at St. John’s has already shown flashes of activity on the glass and as a shot-contesting presence. He stands out more for energy, physicality, and interior impact than polished scoring, which makes him a useful fit for a team that needs toughness, rebounding, and paint defense rather than a featured offensive big.[8][1][2]
