Seven-foot-seven NBA hopeful Tacko Fall sets pre-draft records for height, wingspan, and

NBA prospect Tacko Fall has yet to play in a professional game, but the enormous Senegalese center is already setting league records after measuring 7foot7 in sneakers at the NBA Draft combine in Chicago. The combine records date back to 2000, by which point the league had already seen 7foot7 giants such as Manute Bol and George Muresan, so Fall won't necessarily be the NBA's tallest player ever. (Muresan is unofficially considered the tallest player as Bol was measured at slightly taller than 7foot6). As far as the official all-time NBA Draft Combine measurements are concerned, Fall now ranks first for height with shoes (7foot7), wingspan (8foot2.25), standing reach (10foot2.5) and hand length (10.5 inches). The 23-year-old former Central Florida star measured 7foot5.25 without shoes. Fall was also the heaviest player at the combine at 288 pounds, but that is strictly due to his height and build. His body fat measured at just 6.8 percent. Despite Fall's overwhelming size, he is not guaranteed to be selected in June's NBA Draft. NBA centers are now asked to set screens on the perimeter, away from the basket, where Fall typically played in college. (A screen consists of an offensive player impeding the path of a defender to allow to a teammate to have more space). 'I think Tacko Fall can play in the NBA and be on an NBA roster and help in certain spots, but the game has changed,' said ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, a former Duke player and assistant coach. 'You're not going to have low-post players anymore. It just doesn't work that way.'
