Although he went undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft, Tacko Fall signed an Exhibit 10 Contract with the Boston Celtics late in June, and he represented the C’s in the summer league, displaying some impressive performances in the process.
Fall is looking to land with an NBA team after his senior year with the UCF Knights, during which he averaged 11 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.
Fall has been playing well this summer, and it looks like he has already established his own fan base in the NBA despite not playing a single game in the league. During one summer league game, the crowd even began chanting “MVP” as Fall was at the free-throw line.

The Boston Celtics could be opening doors for the tallest player in summer league after the center has had a strong campaign and has been a key factor for the C’s, according to the New York Times. In case they offer him a permanent contract and an opportunity to play in the NBA, Fall would definitely become one of the most exciting players and main attractions on the floor.
