Expert Analysis
Kevin Spencer | Prep Hoops Scout
Jephte Tambala of Team Esface is making a name for himself this summer. He is one of the most physical players on the circuit. Standing at 6’5” with long arms and a nonstop motor, Tambala plays bigger than his listed height and impacts the game on both ends of the floor.
