"6’7” PF Babacar Thiombane of Fairfax HS 2018 (LA Pump N Run)
Athletic four man who impacts the game at both ends. Can rebound and block shots, understands how to play, has good footwork on the block offensively. Interesting prospect who has some upside."
ESPN lists him at 180 pounds. His parents are from Senegal but he was born here. Thiombane earned Second Team All-Western League honors for his play this past season.
He plays for Harvey Kitani, a high school coaching legend in southern California. Fairfax High won the L.A. City championship last season and Kitani owns 700+ wins during his tenure.
