I'm sure people have seen this, but this picture just cracks me up every time.

Tacko is so fricking tall it is absurd.

Here's another for funsies:

In that first picture, either Taco is in the peak of a jump or it is a photoshop. He is less than a foot taller than Zion and the way this photo looks, it makes it seem that he is about 2 1/2-3 feet taller.

Zion isn't standing up straight and Tacko is

That’s crazy. I think Manute Bol was 7’7” which is the tallest NBA player ever and I think Tacko is that tall as well.

Tacko has some athleticism he could be dominant down low..


I don’t know if guys that big can safely add weight but if he can carry 20 lbs get him.

I would love to take him late in the 2nd round. It's worth a flyer for sure. Let him develop some on the bench and if it doesn't work out, so be it.

Huge guys like that tend to be injury prone as well as liabilities in the current NBA which is heavy on things like quickness and shooting threes.

Not saying “don’t get him” as much as I think someone is going to severely overdraft him based on what they think he is capable of and he isn’t going to live up to expectations.


IIRC, he currently grades out as a late second or an undrafted player. I have a feeling someone is going to spend a very late first on him.

He needs to develop a free throw shot. That was what killed them in that game. Dude couldn't make a free throw to save his life.

I can't believe that this guy actually walked the planet.


Robert Wadlow that is.

Bobans has had a pretty decent career but boban is a great FT shooter for a giant.

Sadly he was killed by John Wick

F for respect

Why do you want him to put on 20lbs? The biggest problem with these really big vuys is stamina and foot injuries. The last thing I would want if we drafted him, is for him to put on weight. No one is trying to overpower this guy. Shaq retired, remember? If you haven’t seen the NBA in 15 years...it’s changed.
