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.
