Rebounding-first frontcourt glue guy with winning pedigree
In the 2025-26 season, Thomas Ndong was a steady, physical forward for California Baptist, averaging 4.9 points and 6.5 rebounds in 17.5 minutes while shooting 56.8% from the field. He stands out as a high-motor rebounder who gives frontcourt depth, size (6-10, 245), and efficient interior finishing, and his role on a 25-9 team that reached the NCAA Tournament adds real context: he helps winning lineups survive the grind. The swing skill is offensive versatility, but as a rugged board-crasher and reliable glue piece, he fits teams needing toughness and paint presence.
