Included in the draft doesn't guarantee the players will be playing in the NBA, there have been many players in the same situation before. Chinese basketball star Sung Ming Ming with a height of 2.36m was included in the NBA draft but unfortunately, no club in this tournament signed a contract with him.

With the official signing of the Boston Celtics club in the NBA, Tacko Fall (2.31m) has become one of the top 3 tallest players in the history of this tournament. Previously, Gheorghe Mureșan (Romania) and Manute Bol (Sudan) were the two tallest players to ever play in the NBA. Yao Ming (China) and Shawn Bradley (Germany) ranked second on the list with the same height of 2.29m.

Tall, bulky, but not clumsy, Tacko Fall also moves flexibly and has a wide range of basketball techniques, so he is expected to become the NBA's brightest star in the future.
