UCF's Tacko Fall returning to school for junior season
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
Tacko Fall is going to ply his craft for another year.
The UCF big man is withdrawing from the NBA draft, the team announced Wednesday. Fall stands a whopping 7-foot-6 and unquestionably has the measureables to make the jump, but another year of polishing could see him rise up draft boards in 2018.
Fall nearly averaged a double-double last season while also chipping in with 2.6 blocks.
If the junior can improve on those numbers, he could find himself as a top pick in next year's NBA draft.
