Tamya Smith is Memphis’ rising two-way forward with real stat-sheet pop
In the 2025-26 season, Tamya Smith emerged as a productive, high-motor forward for Memphis, averaging 12.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 assists while logging 27.9 minutes per game; she also posted a 26-point, six-rebound, four-assist, three-block, four-steal game in Memphis’ 88-80 double-overtime win over East Carolina. Her calling card is versatility: she scores inside, attacks the glass, creates extra possessions defensively, and has shown she can swing a game with activity rather than just shot volume. The fit is easy to like for teams that want a tough, energetic frontcourt piece who brings edge, effort, and a little chaos in the best way.
