Oscar Tshiebwe
Utah Jazz
Tshiebwe is one of the greatest rebounders college basketball has ever seen. The Kentucky product’s energy in the paint and on the glass has translated to the pros, too. He averaged 7.6 points and 8.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes a night for the Jazz in 2024-25. It's no surprise that TWT and BMB named him the best rebounder on a two-way contract.

"Oscar plays with a level of physicality and motor that immediately translates. He’s a graduate of the Steven Adams School of Glass Cleaning (17.6 reb/75, 6.6 oreb/75) and he's now showing it on real minute volume. Possession creation machine!"
Roundball Renaissance
"The guy's got an engine that never runs out of gas. He’s undersized for a center but it’s hard to argue with those rebounding numbers. I think he’d be a great addition to any team given the chance."
