That's it -- we're taking Tacko Fall. Those goggles solidify it. They're intimidating and we need more nastiness. He's putting up decent numbers.

At 0:35 he says doctors tell him he's still growing. Could end up at 7'7" if true.

Edit: nm its an old video he's probably done growing

I hope for his sake he is done growing. He is surprisingly fluid and proportioned for a guy his size though. I dont know if he is a NBA player, but he is way closer than most giants his size.
 
Taco would be an ok flier I guess. He isn't a complete stiff, but I just can't see him being a legit NBA rotation player unless he moves a little bit faster. MAybe when the Jazz play against Boban they can run him out there like a Godzilla vs. _____ movie.

There would be more buzz about him if he went to the combine. He would have registered a wingspan over 8' and who knows what on reach (he can dunk barely on his tip toes so has to be close to 10')
I view him as a sleeper pick and not surprised DL brought him in right away.
 
I love the goggles. He should get an endorsement deal from Beto's if we draft him.

Frank Jackson coming for workout:
Frank Jackson coming

Frank Jackson is scheduled to work out for the Jazz on Saturday, May 27, KSL.com has learned.

The Lone Peak High School graduate spent one year at Duke coming off the bench, but hired an NBA agent on May 12 to indicate that he's staying in the draft. Like Kuzma and Mika, he's a second-round prospect, though recent buzz has him moving closer to the first round.

That's thanks to impressive workouts at the Combine, where he impressed with both his athletic testing (first in the shuttle drills, third overall in the standing vertical leap, and fifth in the three-quarter court sprint) and in the game he played in (13 points, 6-10 shooting).

Also from KSL today: The Jazz want to hold fewer workouts than in years past, when they've brought in over 100 players to evaluate.

"I'm planning on cutting back some. How much, I don't know for sure," Perrin said. "We feel like we need more days where we get together and talk about players."

I hope more discussion leads to better decisions.

Why workout so many dudes when it's obvious: Kuzma
