Tacko Fall Continues Summer League Excellence

Tacko Fall‘s towering 7’6” build alone draws eyes towards him no matter what anytime he trots onto the hardwood. However, thus far during the NBA’s Summer League, Fall’s consistent and impressive play alongside his stature continue to add fuel to a spotlight shining directly on him as he works toward earning a roster spot with the Boston Celtics.

Despite his gifts, Fall never heard his name announced through the loud speakers at the NBA draft this summer. The UCF product still managed to work his way into the NBA however, joining the Celtics as an un–drafted free agent. Looking to prove his worth, Fall so far averages a pleasantly surprising 8.5 points per–game while shooting 76% from the field. Fall puts his height to use as well, also snatching 4.5 rebounds and swatting 1.8 shots per–game. Most recently, Fall helped the Celtics defeat rookie phenom Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies after scoring 12 pints and blocking four shots while playing just 17 minutes en route to a 113–87 victory.

As that all stands months away from Fall, he remains committed to helping Boston continue to excel during summer league contests, as the team currently posts an undefeated 4–0 record. The Celtics and Fall play the Grizzlies once more Saturday, July 13 at 4:30 p.m. ETS.
