#2 Tacko Fall to sign with the Boston Celtics

After going undrafted, Tacko Fall is set to sign a one-year deal with the Boston Celtics

Some expected Tacko Fall to be selected late in the second round of Thursday's draft, although the UCF product went undrafted. Nevertheless, ESPN is reporting that the 23-year-old will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics:

Tacko Fall a 7-foot-6 center from UCF, will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics, a source told ESPN's Jonathan Givony. Exhibit 10 contracts, introduced in the NBA's most recent collective bargaining agreement, are one-year deals paying the minimum salary. They also can be used for two-way contracts.

During his senior season at UCF, Fall averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.6 blocks per game. He also shot 74.8 percent from the field and was particularly impressive as UCF almost eliminated Duke during the NCAA tournament back in March.
