Tacko Fall is the seven foot six inch beast out of Senegalese that makes the a basketball look like a baseball when he holds, and makes even the tall kid on the block look like an ant. Tacko has recently become a household name after he exploded on the college basketball scene when he shocked the world by going to UCF. He finished his senior year this past season and is expected to enter in the NBA draft this “Fall” get hah. I have watched a few of his games this season and it is extremely exciting. His height makes playing against him so unfair. He has an unreal wingspan of eight feet!!!! Watching people try to shoot over him is like watching someone try to throw a paper ball over a skyscraper. Over the past four seasons at UCF he has averaged 2.3, 2.6, 1.9, and 2.6 blocks per game. And these blocks are not just your ordinary stopped layup, they are sky-high floaters being swatted to the fourth row of the crowd never to be seen again. He is almost impossible to stop in the paint and will dunk on you without even having to leave the ground.
This kid has a bright future and I cannot wait to see who drafts him this “Fall”. I anticipate that he will go late in the first round and will perform much better than expected. One problem that I could see affecting Tackos draft status is the fact that he is such a big person that his speed is not completely developed. He needs some intense training to increase his speed and stamina. I have faith however, Tacko will be a dominant defensive force in the NBA, and nobody will be able to stop him from slamming the ball through the hoop.
