ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Central Florida center Tacko Fall is declaring for the NBA draft, though will not yet hire an agent.
The 7-foot-6 Fall averaged 10.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game this season on 71 percent shooting, and blocked a school-record 94 shots.
Fall has until May 24 to remove his name from draft consideration and retain his NCAA eligibility. Fall just completed his sophomore season with the Knights.
Only four players listed at 7-foot-6 or taller have appeared in an NBA game, those being Gheorghe Muresan, Manute Bol, Yao Ming and Shawn Bradley.
