Tacko Fall is still available

The Blazers would be smart to pick him up.

You can't teach height, and Tacko is 7'7" with an 8'2" wingspan and 10'2" standing reach.

It's not like he's Gheorge Muresan or Shawn Bradley, either. Tacko holds per 40 career averages of 17.5 pts, 13.4 rebounds, and 4.2 blocks. His offensive rating is a ludicrous 111.2, and his defensive rating is an equally impressive 89.7.

And yeah his free throw shooting is pretty bad, but the hacking rule instituted a few years ago has pretty much eliminated intentional fouling. And his efficiency would climb through the roof if he could improve back to his freshman average of 55%

Fall has averaged 23 minutes per game over 115 games in the last four years, so his conditioning and endurance are incredible for someone his size. The Blazers are in need of a center with Nurkic's injury and Kanter's potential departure. Fall has a high floor and an even higher ceiling... because he's 7'7"
