Looking forany autographOscar Tshiebwe
One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Oscar Tshiebwe: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.
Growing up in Lubumbashi in the DR Congo, Tshiebwe played soccer and trained by running hills and a mountain near home — he did not start basketball until May 2014. Eight years later he was consensus national player of the year at Kentucky, once pulling down a Rupp Arena-record 28 rebounds. Undrafted in 2023, he set a G League single-season rebounding record with Indiana, then signed a two-way deal with the Jazz in August 2024.
Utah watched the rebounding follow him up a level: 8.7 boards a night in 2024-25, then a career-best 22-rebound game and a 29-point night in April 2026. That July the Houston Rockets signed him — the mountain runner from Lubumbashi, still climbing.
HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted, he signed a two-way contract on August 12, 2024, splitting time with the Salt Lake City Stars. He re-signed on a two-way deal in August 2025, and when Utah declined his qualifying offer in June 2026 he left for Houston.
