Asenso Ampim brings old-school frontcourt grit for Columbia
In the 2010-11 season, Asenso Ampim was a rugged Columbia forward who averaged 8.9 points and 6.8 rebounds in 22.9 minutes, with a nose for offensive glass and a knack for energy plays that teammates and coaches valued. He was more banger than ballerina: strong, physical, and reliable around the rim, with enough touch to finish efficient nights when the Lions needed toughness. If your team wants a power forward who rebounds, absorbs contact, and lifts the intensity level, Ampim fits the bill; if you need perimeter shooting, that’s not his lane.
