Tacko Fall had some head-turning moments during his first training camp practice on Tuesday.
The 7-foot-7 Fall, who is looking to make the Celtics’ 15-man roster, held his own in post-up drills with Celtics teammates during the first day of training camp. Fall, who drew notice due to his solid Vegas Summer League, is still considered a project and may not make Boston’s roster.
Nevertheless, these videos show why he’s an intriguing prospect.
One video shows Fall making a strong post-up move and dunking on 7-footer Vincent Porier.
Another video shows Fall easily shooting over 6-foot-11 Enes Kanter.
But the former Knick also was able to get the better of the slower-footed Fall.
Fall said he’s learning a lot from Kanter.
“Enes is the type of person I always want to be around, because he just has such a positive aura around him,” Fall told reporters “Such a great person, the biggest heart. He’s played in the NBA for so many years. For me as a rookie, I’m just trying to be around him, soak in as much as possible. Trying to learn how to last in the NBA.”
