Boban Marianović is a famous giant in the NBA, he signed a 2-year, 7 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks in the summer of 2019, he is a non-draft player, but the 31-year-old has played in the NBA for 4 seasons, he was first favored by Popovich, joined the Spurs with 1.2 million in the 15-16 season, he is 2.21 meters tall, his arm span reaches 2.34 meters, he plays 9.4 minutes in the first season, has 5.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.4 blocks, shooting 60.3%, shooting 60.3%. Then signed a 3-year, 21 million contract with the Pistons, last season he was traded to 76ers as a substitute for Embiid, averaging 13.9 minutes per game, 8.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks, shooting 62.9%, the performance is still good, although the movement speed is slower, but his height, arm span, basket finishing ability allows him to still have a place in the NBA, after Boban has established himself in the NBA, another giant struck, he is Taco Fall from the University of Central Florida, He was bigger than Boban.
Taco Fall is 2.31 meters tall, with an arm span of 2.5 meters and a standing height of 3.11 meters, he has become the player with the longest arm span since the joint trial in the history of the NBA, but he lost in the 2019 NBA Draft, the reason for the failure is also that he moves too slowly, and he is 23 years old, there is not much to dig into in talent, he can only focus on the basket attack, his role is limited to protecting rebounds, guarding the rim, blocking and dismantling the attack basket, he is just a blue-collar center, In the small-ball era such a center will slow down the pace of the game, so in the end no team to choose him, after he lost, Celtic general manager Danny Angie signed him with an Exhibit 10-clause contract, as long as Lu Kai did not cut him after the end of the Summer League, he could switch to a two-way contract to play for Lu Kai, other teams can not sign him at will, Angie This signing is actually very wise.
Taco Fall currently plays in two summer league games, he is playing as a substitute for Robert Williams, debuted 10 minutes, 4 of 3, 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, his deterrent power under the basket is really similar to Boban, as long as he catches the ball, lifts the ball over his head, he can't prevent it, because it's too high; the second game against the Cavaliers, he came off the bench for 12 minutes, 5 of 5, 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, played a total of 22 minutes in both games, 9 in 8, 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. This efficiency value is quite high, and it should not be too difficult for him to become a substitute center like Boban, playing 15-16 minutes in one game and averaging about 8+5+1 caps per game.
Taco Fall played in the NCAA for four years, averaging 74% of the shooting, the high is amazing, the 18-19 season senior averaged 24.9 minutes, 11.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 0.5 assists 0.2 steals and 2.6 blocks, shooting 74.8%, his stats will improve slightly every year, but he was a substitute center for four years in college, averaging 10+ rebounds per game, This is a little too little for a monster with a height of 2.31 meters and an arm span of 2.5 meters, he needs to improve his rebounding number to stand in the NBA, if his contract turns to a two-way contract, he will mix in the development league next season, and he needs to play more dazzling data than the NCAA in the development league to have the hope of being promoted to the rotation of the green Kai.
Farr's template is Boban, he should imitate Boban's playing style, know how to use his height and arm span, use the 2.5-meter arm span to make up for the weakness of slow movement, play tough under the basket, and strive to play a dominant role in the development league, in the July 9 interview with Pharr, he also mentioned: "I was not selected in the draft, and now I have the opportunity to step on the field to show my strength, which is what I have been trying to do." I'm just trying to compete and prove my ability to play in the NBA, and although I don't move fast, I'm agile and I'm better at using my height and arm span. "Maybe the next Boban is gradually rising, And Boban is also a non-draft player who can also stand in the NBA, and so can Farr."
