Big-bodied Texas Tech forward who brought interior size and steady rebounding
Tapsoba’s value was his size and rugged frontcourt presence: Texas Tech listed him at 6-foot-10 and he averaged 6.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 blocks before joining the Red Raiders, which points to a rim-protecting, glass-cleaning big who could change possessions without needing the ball.[6] In Texas Tech’s 2012-13 season data, he played a limited offensive role but still flashed efficiency at the foul line and occasional scoring pop, including a career-high 13-point game.[2][1] He is a fit for teams needing length, rebounding and defensive toughness more than shot creation.[6][9]
