I really think people should manage their expectations with Tacko Fall. Not sure if people saw his games for UCF, he's very raw and limited. He's tall but the reason Horford defended Embiid, Giannis and Co very well was because he had great footwork and lateral movement which Tacko doesn't have. I really think he needs a year in the G-league to get polished.


Tacko's really good defense against Zion.

Didn't Zion score 32 points in that game  :angel:
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I don't know what the story is on this kid.

I know he's super smart in math and sciences.

I know he's super tall and athletic for his height, and that he defended Zion well in that UCF game. He did run into foul trouble, or UCF might have won that game.

I also learned that Horford went to UCF--or had the same coach. UCF seems to be a good team.

But I also know that he didn't get drafted the first two rounds. Why?

He looked pretty good in the video I saw. Sure he's not an outside shooter, but that's not his role.
He's a rim protector. A paint guy.

What's this contract Ainge gave him? Do they have first dibs on him in the Summer League for a regular contract?
If the guy is mobile, you can't beat that height. It conquers all inside.

Embiid would just use his athleticism to get around Fall. Come on, now.

It's a long way around Fall.

Given that you have to respect Embiid’s 3 point shot, he’d have a lot of room to accomplish that.

Tacko made Zion look like a little boy.

A still want to see Embiid try to bully Tacko.

Embiid is 2nd best at drawing fouls after Harden.  Embiid might initially be balked by Fall's size but he'd probably end up fouling out Fall in 5 minutes.
