Lamine Niang brings elite rim protection and efficient minutes to UT Martin
Niang’s 2025 UT Martin profile shows a low-usage, high-impact forward who averaged 3.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 28 games while posting a strong 59.8% eFG and 59.3% TS. His biggest differentiator is defense and activity around the rim—his 9.8 block rate and solid defensive impact suggest real shot-blocking upside even without big scoring volume. For a team needing length, energy, and a role player who can defend the paint without hijacking possessions, he looks like a useful fit.
