When the Boston Celtics opted to send their 7-5 rookie Tacko Fall down to the G-League, the Houdini believed it was the exact right move to make. With his current skill set & raw talent, it’s certainly in his best interest to improve upon his skills in the shallow-end of the NBA’s basketball pool (i.e. the development league) rather than thrusting him into the deep-end, going up against established NBA stars, to see if he can either sink or swim.
So far, it appears the move is doing wonders for Boston’s super-giant big-man.
Through three outings with the Maine Red Claws, Fall has received an amble amount of playing time, and has produced admirably along the way.
