Tacko Fall described himself as a “traditional big” in his Zoom media availability on Sunday, which isn’t quite right.
Fall might be traditional in that he spends most of his time setting screens and defending the rim, but he’s far from traditional in that he is listed at 7-foot-5 (Fall contests this and claims he is 7-foot-6) with a historic 8-foot-2 wingspan. He was one of the most popular players on the Celtics last year even though he logged 33 total minutes in seven games.
Now, Fall is working to shed other aspects of the “traditional” label as well.
