Tacko Fall with the 2nd round pick?

Pass

I just don't get the infatuation with him. He's tall...and he'll be in and out of Nelson's care thanks to foot, ankle, and likely knee trouble all his short career.

But whatever. A 2nd round pick is worth it.

Does any body know how his combine went the other day?

He's absurdly long and he moves like a glacier.

You don’t draft a player solely based on the fact that he is big. You draft players that have size and a projectable skill set to the next level that you have a vision for. Tacko literally has no skill set that is on an NBA level besides being ridiculously large, which, if I’m being honest, is more of a detriment than an advantage in today’s NBA. He can’t shoot, can’t play the passing lanes despite that “freakish length”, defend the p n r, defend the perimeter, can’t pass, can’t make free throws, doesn’t draw fouls, etc etc.

Tacko will be a G league player at best, possibly overseas in some lower tier league.

On the bright side, he is hella smart, and considered a genius in whatever engineering field he was studying in college, and said he would fall back on that if basketball doesn’t work out.

That's what I meant by Nelson's care.

I just can't trust someone that abnormally tall to be healthy long term. Not in a sport like basketball. Too much weight on too small a landing pad. He'd be fun as hell to see, no doubt. I've always wanted to stand next to someone that tall just to experience it...closest was when I saw DeMarcus Cousins at Costco. He was bitching at workers because they couldn't help his man servant with a safe.

Funny stuff.
