Kendrick Perkins impressed with this facet of Celtics center Tacko Fall's game

New Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter made it known over the weekend he's a fan of Tacko Fall's game, and it looks like a former C's center has joined the club.

Ex-Celtics big man Kendrick Perkins was impressed with Fall's ability to run the floor during Boston's Summer League game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night in Las Vegas.

Fall scored 12 points on 5-for-5 shooting in 12 minutes for the Celtics during their 89-72 win over the Cavs

The 7-foot-6 center has become one of the must-watch players of the whole tournament, and he quickly became a favorite for Celtics fans and supporters of other teams. 

Fall is not a lock to make the Celtics' roster for the 2019-20 season, but at this point, he at least deserves a chance to compete for a spot in training camp and the preseason.
