Boston Celtics Rumors: DeMarcus Cousins and Steven Adams unlikely to join, Celtics open to trading for another star and more

Tacko Fall is impressing Celtics at the NBA Summer League

Tacko Fall is said to be making an impact during Summer League practices

Tacko Fall was rated as one of the biggest wildcards heading into the 2019 NBA draft. Standing at 7 ft 7 in and possessing an incredible wingspan of 8 ft 4 in, Fall is the most imposing big to ever emerge from college basketball. Nevertheless, doubts over his all-around game and conditioning led the 23-year-old to go undrafted last month.

But, the Celtics opted to take a chance and sign Fall to an Exhibit 10 Contract, and Jay King of The Athletic is reporting that Fall is impressing Boston's coaching staff.

Scott Morrison said Tacko Fall has been very impressive, shown some mobility the coach didn’t realize he has.

Fall is still a long way off from landing a permanent NBA contract, however, a series of solid performances in Las Vegas will help his case. There is also a chance that the Celtics' lack of depth at center could provide Fall with an opportunity to play later in the season.
