Undrafted big man Tacko Fall will still have his shot in the NBA, as he's set to sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics.

An Exhibit 10 contract is basically a training camp deal for the minimum salary ($850,000-$900,000) that usually includes a bonus up to $50k depending on the player's performance.
Fall will most likely be featured in the Celtics' Summer League team, along with their three picks in last night's NBA Draft: Romeo Langford, Grant Williams and Carsen Edwards.
Now, what will happen if Fall fails to impress the Celtics? Well, he can immediately be waived. However, if he does have a strong showing in the Summer League, the 7-foot-7 behemoth can then be sent to the Celtics' G League affiliate.
Best case scenario for Fall at the moment is to be signed to a two-way contract.
Fall played four seasons for the University of Central Florida, where he averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game for the Knights during the 2018-19 NCAA season. He was initially projected to be drafted in between late first round to early second, but for some reason, nobody wanted to use their pick on him.
Fall has the potential to be a decent center in the NBA. He just needs to work on his footwork and offensive skills. If he will be able to do that, the Celtics might have the steal of the draft in their hands.
