Meet 7-foot-4 high school junior basketball player Tacko “Taco” Fall from Liberty Christian Prep in Orlando, Florida. But he only averages 5 rebounds a game.
quote:

According to the [Orlando] Sentinel he’s eating entire pizzas covered in chicken and hamburger to keep weight on his 250-pound frame. In that sense, he’s your typical teenager. In another sense, he’s larger than life. He stands 1 1/2 inches taller than current Oklahoma City center Hasheem Thabeet, the tallest current NBA player (although, D-League center Paul Sturgess stands 7-8). Fall, whose full name is Elhadji Serigne Tacko Diop Fall, reportedly has a 7-year-old brother who is already 5-9.- Yahoo Prep Rally

Sometimes players are described as doing things effortlessly as if it's a good thing. And it is. It speaks to freakish athleticism. When that word is used for this kid, well, it just means he doesn't try. Add in his apparent 4 inch vertical and the fact that he looks super slow, well, not exactly a blue chip prospect.

He's still tall as shite and appears to have decent hands. He can play college ball.
