After leaving Betclic ÉLITE, ADA Blois knows the 10 players who will have the difficult task of restoring its reputation next season in Pro B. Author of an interesting recruitment, the Blois club concluded it with the signing of Flo Thamba (2.08 m, 25 years old) according to our information.
Congolese pivot, French-speaking, who also lived a little in France during his youth (but also in England and especially in South Africa, before emigrating to the United States at 15 years old), he is currently doing summer work in Venezuela (6 points at 54% and 5.2 rebounds in 18 games with Heroes). He previously spent his rookie season in Sweden, showing a great impact under the colors of Jamtland (10.8 points at 64% and 8.6 rebounds in 40 games).
Champion NCAA
An athletic post 5, capable of doing all the work in the shadows, Florent Thamba is best known for his university career. In the Baylor racket between 2018 and 2023, he is both the most capped man in the history of the Bears and the most victorious, crowned NCAA champion in 2021. In Texas, the neo-Blésois left a formidable image, being regularly described (like a Boris Diaw) as the most interesting man on the team, a photographer in his spare time. “He gave everything for college”pointed out his ex-teammate, Adam Flagler, for The Baylor Lariat last year. “He sacrificed so much, was a leader on and off the field, the true embodiment of Baylor basketball. Stats are the most visible thing to the general public and he does everything he can to make our stats explode. He’s the one who frees us up by setting screens, he’s the one who goes to get the extra rebounds. Without him, we wouldn’t be able to shine.”
