Well he's not playing Kentucky or Duke in these highlights. It would be fun to go to one of his pro workouts and see how he does.

I would pay to watch Chriss and Fall battle for position on offense and defense.

I would consider him with the #54 pick but honestly his ceiling is simply sticking on a NBA roster as a 3rd stringer.

The game is moving away from big hulking centers.

Last years draft had a similiar prospect in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamadou_N'Diaye_(basketball,_born_1993) . 7'6, 8'1 wingspan, 300lbs. He got waived from the D-League this year.

Whoever we draft at #54 will most likely be drafted to play for the NAZ, not sure if that means we might look at specific needs and fits.

DX has him mocked undrafted and I'd lean toward taking a flier on Kobi Simmons or a highly productive senior like Sindarius Thornwell or Josh Hart, we need the SG depth and both these players are legit.

I can see the Suns going for a C/PF candidate at #32 especially if the Suns may not match big offers for Len. There seems to be a lot of big men available at this spot.

With the Raptors pick it is all about going after BPA so who knows. I don't see the Suns considering Fall at #32.

I hope we get #1 pick then for sure we will be able to lock up Tacko Fall. I don't see him slipping past the top 3....no way.

:stick:

Hasheem Thabeet was an excellent college player but his skills didn't translate to the NBA. He was taken #2. That might've been a reach, but gimme a shot at that type player with the #32 pick all day, every day.

Fall has previously worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston. He has a workout scheduled with Utah and is hoping to meet with Houston prior to making his decision.

Magic interim general manager Matt Lloyd said there are teams and situations where a primarily shot-blocking rim protector like Fall can still be successful.

“The league is so geared toward speed but basket protection is one thing he can do,” said Lloyd, who worked out five others players in addition to Fall on Thursday. “He can stand in front of the basket and hit the turn.”

I think that was the best move for Tacko. If he blows up next year, he will be a first round lock.

UCF's Tacko Fall is 7-foot-6, and his game is still growing
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tacko Fall can never hide.

The tallest man in college basketball was walking from the University of Central Florida student union to his dormitory one recent morning, waiting for the light to change at an intersection when a driver — perhaps under the illusion that there's more than one 7-foot-6 kid enrolled there — hit the brakes and yelled a question out the window.
"Yo," the man yelled. "You Tacko?"

I was wondering what was happening with him since last June... wonder if he'll enter the draft this year. As far as Suns are concerned it might help us if he did.
