After the Celtics began their internet celebrity career, 2.26-meter-tall center Taco Farr will sign the Cavaliers on a one-year non-guarantee contract in the new season, trying to compete for a training camp contract for the Cavaliers, or for a two-way contract.
Farr is the older loser in the 2019 draft and is 25 years old this year. After losing the election 2 years ago, the Celtics signed a two-way contract with the young man with long arms who are expected to enter the league. In 2 seasons for the Celtics, Farr played in 26 games for the team, averaging 6.5 minutes per game and scoring 2.7 points, 2.6 boards and 0.9 blocks.
Last season, Farr played in 19 games, averaging 7.1 minutes per game and scoring 2.5 points, 2.7 boards and 1.1 blocks. But for the most part, he played for development league side Maine Red Claw. There, Farr averaged 12.9 points, 11.1 boards and three blocks per game, earning him the development league's best defensive player.
Despite his limited personal strength, Farr is the darling of the fans at Celtic. When he comes on the pitch, he can even get more cheers than Brown and Tatum. In a regular season game in which the Celtics beat the Magic 132-96, Farr got 5 minutes and 20 seconds to play. During the game, he transformed into a point guard to break through with the ball, showing a dreamy footstep to pick the ball into the net, which caused the bench to celebrate wildly. In just 5 minutes, he sent out 4 big hats, setting a new career high and making his opponents doubt his life.
In college, Farr once had a head-to-head confrontation with Zion. He scored 15 points, 7 boards and three blocks on 7-of-10 shooting in that game, all three of which were great defenses blocking Zion. Although he eventually lost to Duke University 76-77, Farr's miraculous performance was impressive.
Today, Farr has joined the Cavaliers, but he has struggled to find opportunities in Cleveland. The US media joked that the Cavaliers' lineup after the reinforcement will be "point guard Farr, quarterback Markkanen, small forward Lefour, big forward Mobley, center Allen". It will be a magical "Death Five" lineup.
Due to farr's relative lack of mobility and lack of personal singles strength, in today's small ball era, he may not be able to achieve anything. After signing the Cavaliers, perhaps he will continue to wander the road and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the league.
