It's a win-win situation the Cs getting Tacko.

There's just no downside.

Whether it pans out or not, that's a different story.

When a 7’6” player goes undrafted... just don’t expect much.

I’m thinking ROY minimum, I’m hoping for DPOY 😁

don't be silly. Tacko wins the MVP award for sure.  ;D

Needs time but could give the Celtics a couple of good minutes each game. He has no offense at all, but just so big and imposing in the middle.

I will see, that he has improved a lot since he started in college to when he finished. He has some upside and talent.

 How do you know this slam? Have you really scouted him



 If you have actually watch that whole Duke game re-watched it then I'll take your opinion seriously but if you watch that game and you don't think he's going to make an impact. I disagree.

 Reminders. Celtics currently have the worst big man rotation in the NBA.

 Another huge positive for Taco. He doesn't foul much either! 2.6 fouls per game over his career.

 So a 7'5" big man with the greatest standing reach in the history of basketball.

 A giant that runs very well, has solid quickness and can move his feet, and has no real injury history. On a team that has almost no bigs.

 Taco will bring more to the table than Burritos.

1. Fall does not run really well. The eye test says as much and his combine low 3/4 sprint mark confirms it

2. Fall isn’t quick and doesn’t move his feet well. Again, lane agility was dead last and eye test confirms.

3. He had 4.5 fouls per 40 which sounds like a lot but given his size and lethargic movement it is sorta impressive to me

4. He has ZERO offensive skills and shot 36 percent from the line this year.

I just have a hard time imagining he’ll be playable. Every single team will just target him and try to get him switched as he’ll be utterly hopeless on the perimeter and his total lack of any semblance of an offensive game will make him a liability there too.

Hard to see him as a rotation player.  Maybe he could find a situational end-of-bench sort of role somewhere.

He has no offensive prowess and is simply not mobile enough to guard in today’s NBA.  Teams will attack him from the perimeter or speed up the game, where he cannot keep up.  Also, sub-40% on FTs is an untenable flaw.
