I don’t think he’s an NBA player.  But I wish him luck all the same.

I predict he will have a better career than Bol Bol.

I'm not going to miss a single minute of Summer League this year purely because I want to see every single possession when Tremont Waters and Tacko Fall are on the floor together.

Please, Brad:   Let these two guys run pick & roll again and again and again.

Ha ha!  That's going to be fun to watch, even if neither end up ever playing in the NBA.  So enjoy it while you get the chance.

This pairing is destiny. :D

Could you be more specific?  What exactly was wasted, other than the time and electrons we are burning on this thread?

Tacko "beat" Zion and Duke 76-77 in tourney.

Rigged by Dukes. Tacko, after dominating Zion, fouled out with 11 seconds on clock.

I've watched a lot of film on Tacko, I have, however, not seen him dribble yet, or anything beyond a dunk or layup. He shoots 36% from the line, which doesn't matter because nobody can reach high enough to foul him.

Be interesting to see if he could be useful off the bench in the NBA beyond for fun and games. I think one factor that might get him minutes? He's listed at 311 pounds.

I remember watching Wilt using his size in the NBA.

Agreed with all of you...Summer league just became must watch TV.

I’m sorry. I’ve had a long, frustrating day at work. Don’t mean to be cranky and vague.

Just feel Fall will not make an NBA roster because he is slow as molasses. Maybe I’m wrong.Basing it on watching him play 2 games in tournament.  Certainly feel he had no shot making our roster.

I also am bummed we did not try to sign Jontay Porter, who also wasn’t drafted but had much more promise as a center. However I just read that teams are unlikely to sign him until next year because he won’t be able to play until then and don’t want to absorb cap space.

Also want Rob Williams to get most of the PT at center during summer league.

Good insight on Tacko...

He's a nice humble kid and he can dunk without picking his feet up!
