When arriving at the states from Senegal in high school. It was a viral sensation, being one of the tallest basketball players in the world as a teenager. However Tacko back then didn't seem too interested in pursuing a career in pro hoops, he even stated that he wanted to be an engineer, and would rather be Steve Jobs than LeBron James. And I get that Steve Jobs had more money but cmon if you ask 99% of hoopers the same question, I'm sure they'd all say LeBron.

After high school, Tacko attended UCF and went off the radar for a few years. His play was solid and consistent, but he wasn't really improving much by the year. So much so that coming into his senior year, his name was nowhere to be seen on any pre-draft boards. I even made a video discussing what happened to him in February. Only for him days later to have a breakout performance with 23 points and 20 rebounds, and carry that momentum into the NCAA tournament, and after Tacko did as good a job as anyone containing Zion Williamson in UCF's heartbreaking loss to the blue devils, he had found himself right back on the NBA radar. He set all kinds of records at the NBA draft combine, including height with and without shoes, longest-standing reach etc. And although going undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft. Earned a non guaranteed contract with the Celtics, that contract was extended after Tacko exceeded expectations through summer league and pre-season, and it seemed as if Fall had done enough to win over a fully guaranteed deal. However, Boston decided to offer their last roster spot to Javonte Green, who we covered back in November. And signed Tacko to a two-way contract, where he'd spend time in both the NBA and G-League this season.
While Tacko has played just 1 game with the Celtics in the NBA so far, where he had 4 points and 3 rebounds in as many minutes against the Knicks. He has spent the majority of this season so far playing G-league with Maine red claws, where Tacko has been nothing short of dominant thus far. In 6 appearances all of which have been off the bench. Tacko is averaging 15 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.7 blocks per game. While shooting almost 70% from the field. His best game so far came against the stacked Raptors 905, where Tacko had 21 point performance shooting a perfect 9 of 9 from the field. He had another outstanding performance were on vs the Memphis hustle, was on top of his 16 points. He grabbed 18 rebounds, 14 of which were on the offensive end. Which is outrageous
And while Danny Ainge and brad stevens are being cautious with his playing time and have tried to temper expectations for Tacko, since joining the Celtis all he's done is exceed those. This was an undrafted giant they signed on an exhibit 10 contract, who quickly proved to be a fan favorite, viral sensation, box office attraction and most importantly. A productive basketball player, It's as if Tacko has a level of productivity he's capable of that he always brings regardless of the competition, whether that be college, summer-league, g-league or the NBA. Taco seems to always put up the same numbers, ranging from 10-12 points a night on above 70% shooting from the field. If he keeps up his good play, it'll only be a matter of time before the Celtics bring him into the rotation on a regular basis. Brad Stevens recently said that when struggling for depth in the frontcourt, they'll call up Tacko from the G-League. But on a current trajectory with the way he's improved over the last year, a future in the NBA for Tacko is looking more and more likely. Though I must say the Celtics front office and training staff are doing the right thing by being cautious, recently he suffered a bone bruise that will likely sideline him for two weeks.
I suggest Boston keeps doing what they are doing, allow Tacko to continue to thrive and develop in the minor leagues for this season. While still making the odd NBA cameo here and there, and then come to the end of the season with a year's long sample size evaluate whether or not he's ready to make the jump and play in the NBA on a more permanent basis.
