Seven-foot-seven NBA hopeful Tacko Fall sets pre-draft records for height, ...

NBA prospect Tacko Fall has yet to play in a professional game, but the enormous Senegalese center is already setting league records after measuring 7foot7 in sneakers at the NBA Draft combine in Chicago.

The combine records date back to 2000, by which point the league had already seen 7foot7 giants such as Manute Bol and George Muresan, so Fall won't necessarily be the NBA's tallest player ever. (Muresan is unofficially considered the tallest player as Bol was measured at slightly taller than 7foot6)

As far as the official all-time NBA Draft Combine measurements are concerned, Fall now ranks first for height with shoes (7foot7), wingspan (8foot2.25), standing reach (10foot2.5) and hand length (10.5 inches).

The 23-year-old former Central Florida star measured 7foot5.25 without shoes.

Fall was also the heaviest player at the combine at 288 pounds, but that is strictly due to his height and build. His body fat measured at just 6.8 percent.

The wingspan record had been set only a year ago by current Orlando Magic enter Mo Bamba, whose outstretched arms measured 7foot10 from end to end. Remarkably, he stands only 6foot11 without shoes, so his wingspan is nearly a foot more than his height. 

Despite Fall's overwhelming size, he is not guaranteed to be selected in June's NBA Draft.

Neither ESPN nor NBADraft.net currently have Fall being selected in their respective mock drafts.

One problem is Fall is relatively new to the game. He loved soccer growing up and did not pick up a basketball until he was 16.

Ultimately Fall went to a prep school in Florida before attending UCF, and has since developed into a strong rim protector, averaging an impressive 2.6 blocks a game as a senior.
