Blanca Thomas brings size, touch, and upside to UNC’s frontcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Blanca Thomas has been a reliable bench big for North Carolina, averaging 1.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in roughly 10 minutes per game while flashing impact skills with a season-high nine rebounds, two blocks, and improved passing touch. What makes her intriguing is the combo platter: a 6-5 post who can protect the rim, rebound with two hands, and stretch the floor, plus she has the mobility to fit UNC’s modern frontcourt. She’s not yet a volume scorer, but her size, efficiency, and upside make her a smart fit for a team needing a long, versatile center.
