Tacko Fall once stunned the media with its amazing physical parameters. His height is 2.26 m, his arm span 2.54 m, an arm reaches more than 3.11 m, and his body fat at 6.8%. In the rebound test, Fall just jumped slightly to reach the highest measuring device’s mark.

Fall spent four seasons in the NCAA Division with an average of 10.1 points and 7.7 rebounds, the statistics are too small for his stature. Scouts assessed Fall as having an incomplete skill set, clumsy handling, and poor motor intensity.

The basketball career of Fall

Fall registered to participate in the 2018 NBA Draft but was not chosen by any team. However, the Boston Celtics gave Fall the opportunity to a probationary contract ahead of the 2019/20 season. After that, the Celtics decided to sign Fall with a 2-way mix that allowed the player to play at the same time in the NBA and G-League (NBA’s lower league).

Despite his limited contribution to just six appearances since the start of the season, Fall is one of the most beloved players in the Celtics. Fall always received encouraging applause from the fans every time he went on the pitch. Fall spends most of his time in the G-League, where he has become a solid wall with averaging 12.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game.
