Surprise! Oscar Tshiebwe‘s elite rebounding skills are so far translating to the professional level. None of us are shocked, but it’s still borderline confusing how the former Kentucky big man is so dominant when it comes to scooping up loose balls off the rim.
On Monday night in Las Vegas, in what was his second Summer League outing with the Indiana Pacers, Tshiebwe appeared in just 12 minutes. But in that short amount of time, he did what he does best. The undersized center hauled in eight rebounds — second-most on the team behind fellow former Wildcat Isaiah Jackson — to go along with seven points that came on a perfect 3-3 shooting from the field.
