Tacko Fall Signed to Two-Way (10-13-19)

He has a better shot at having a cameo appearance on Space Jam 2 than making an NBA roster. But maybe someone takes a chance on him.

Maybe him and Tatum (Tacko Jay) can challenge Harris and Boban (Tobi & Bobi) to a dance off.

He has basically a zero percent chance to make it, but Tacko isn’t a complete stiff. He played well against Duke and Zion had a little trouble with him. He tries hard

0% chance at 1 meaningful NBA minute.

Tacko and Tremont on the court together will make for the best visuals. And I don't completely rule him out.

Bleeding Green wrote:Tacko Fall is so bad, dunno what anyone sees in him. Do you think he could even pretend to stay on the court for one defensive possession against an NBA team? Sideshow player, have fun in China or something, bro. He will be 100 pct attacked every defensive possession just like someone like Boban, except at least Boban is freakishly strong in the post and is an automatic 2 pts every time down the court so it evens out. Tacko Fall is an eight foot pylon who shoots 36 pct from the FT line. He'll be fun for some summer league highlights and hopefully there will be some meme-able clips of him not even being able to run the length of the court or something.

When people look at Tacko Fall, what do they envision his absolute ceiling to be? He's the least agile player in the history of the NBA, he can't shoot, he's 10 feet tall and likely made of glass. Any good big will be able to box him out with ease, but sure he can snag some cheap rebounds over shorter players and I bet he'd be able to swat a few fun blocks. You legit will not even be able to run an offense with him on the court. It'll be 4v5 until he shows up in the halfcourt with 12 seconds left on the shotclock.

Could be right, but we can play the same defense sixers and GSW used to hide super slow bigs like Boban and Cousins. Also, he's 7 years younger than Boban and working with Drew H. on free throw shooting all offseason. Maybe he gets it up over 50% in the next 7 years sometime?

Maybe I"m biased from 1 game, but they almost took down duke and zion, and it was him that did it. Zion couldn't get over or around him. And if he gets the ball within 5ft of the hoop, he's dunking it with barely jumping.

He's actually surprisingly mobile and fluid for his size. He's also not as scrawny as, say, Bol Bol.

While I agree with most of what you're saying, to say he's the least agile player in NBA history might be a stretch. I can think of guys that played in the league (not today) that were slower than Tacko.

Your criticism are a bit exaggerated and harsh. If this was 15-20 years ago he would have gotten drafted yesterday easily. He was born in the wrong era.

Gotta give you the and1 now. SL invite may be as far as it goes, but you got the thread rolling.

Fall isn’t great. But he 7-7 and 300 pounds and can protect the rim. He has issues in transition. But he absolutely should be a developmental player for us in the D-League. His biggest issue is he is a horrid FT shooter.

If you think he does t affect shots, look at UCF vs. Duke in NCAAs.

Watched his entire career. Not terrible. Slow as molasses, but he can protect the rim. Just have to work on lane footwork to get in position.

Exhibit 10 contract? Why not.
