Enes Kanter likes what he has seen so far from Boston Celtics rookie Tacko Fall, and he admits he's “really excited” to play with one of the league's most intriguing newcomers.
In an interview with Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Kanter has nothing but good words to say about Fall and shared his excitement to play with his new teammate.
“When I was in Boston, I played with (Hayward) in two-on-two action and I feel like he’s gained more confidence,” Kanter says. “When he played, he wasn’t scared of anything. It was me, Gordon, Jaylen Brown and Tacko (Fall). I was guarding Tacko. He’s good, man, and I love him. His personality is amazing, real good character. He’s a hard worker. I’m definitely really excited to play with him.”
Kanter, who has career averages of 11.9 points and 7.6 rebounds, is seeing a lot of potential from the UCF product. Fall wasn't much of an offensive presence with his 10.1 points per game in his four-year college stint. However, Boston is looking at him to add value on the defensive end of the ball.
Fall averaged 7.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per contest in college. His intimidating 7-foot-6 frame should also make him a terrifying presence, especially if he manages to develop his body.
There's plenty of things to look forward to this coming season for Celtics fans. And with Kanter being the herald, the hype should soar above the clouds.
