rugged Idaho forward with a low-usage, high-effort profile
In the 2020-21 season, Babacar Thiombane gave Idaho a dependable frontcourt presence, averaging 3.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while starting 9 of 18 games and shooting 37.3% from the field. He isn’t a volume scorer, but his appeal is the glue-guy stuff: size, physicality, rebounding, and a willingness to do the dirty work. For a team needing a sturdy forward who plays with effort and can survive in a role without needing the ball, he looks like a workable fit.
