Chukwuma Chiamaka brought old-school glass-eating energy to UMBC
Chukwuma Chiamaka’s UMBC resume points to a bruising, rebound-first forward who made an immediate impact in the 2015-16 season, including a double-double in her debut and a stretch that showed she could control the glass; before UMBC, she ranked 23rd nationally in rebounds per game at Eastern Arizona College with 10.3 as a freshman. The fit question is simple: if a team wants size, physicality, and a relentless rebounding presence over flashy shot creation, she looks like a classic “does the dirty work” frontcourt piece.
