Memphis adds a long, mobile rim protector in Thierno Sylla
Sylla is a 6'10" center with a reputation as a defensive-oriented big who brings length, rebounding, and shot-blocking potential to Memphis; one scouting report describes him as averaging 10.3 points and 10.1 rebounds in Spain while showing active hands and physical tools, while Memphis’s transfer announcement confirms he is joining the Tigers after time in college basketball and abroad.[1][2] The appeal is upside: he profiles as a paint anchor who can change shots, rebound his area, and offer energy minutes, though his offensive polish and shooting consistency remain areas to watch.[1][2]
