Tacko Fall wasn’t done turning heads at the NBA Draft Combine on Friday in Chicago.

The 7-foot-7 (in shoes) big man from Central Florida showed off his jumping prowess by maxing out at 26.5 inches on the vertical leap. According to ESPN, Fall jumping 12.5 feet off ground was the highest number ever recorded at the combine. He also completed a lane agility drill in 13.01 seconds.

Sports Illustrated reporter Jeremy Woo, who attended the combine said Fall was a dominant force defensively during the games this week.

Fall — who was a big factor in the Knights near-upset over Zion Williamson’s Duke Blue Devils in the second round of the NCAA Tournament this past season — averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks as a senior.

Though Fall has had an eye-catching combine, it is highly unlikely he will be drafted in the first round, but according to Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, the consensus around the combine was that Fall would be worth a flier in the middle of the second round.

If an NBA team were to sign Fall — who was born in Dakar, Senegal — he likely would be the center of attention.
