Tambedou is a fascinating archetype of a player. He doesn’t have too many offensive skills, but he still makes a massive difference on the floor because of what he DOES bring. For a guy his size (6-foot-7), he’s as strong and well-conditioned as they come; he’s the first guy back on defense but is also a ferocious rim-runner, so you better come to play if you’re facing him on the front line. He’s a lob threat offensively, he’s a rim deterrent defensively, and he has one of the better motors I’ve seen in high school hoops. Tambedou needs to gain some more offensive skills, but he’s physically ready to play at Maryland right now and is a special rebounder and defensive player.
