Tacko Fall, the 7-foot-7 UCF product who was introduced to most of the nation during the Knights' game against Duke in the NCAA Tournament, had a strong showing at the NBA Combine in Chicago. And he now might be of interest to the Knicks.

Fall had been scheduled to work out with the Knicks on Monday, but that workout has been rescheduled due to a travel issue, according to SNY's Ian Begley. The New York Post first reported that Fall is on the Knicks' "radar" as a possible second-round pick in the NBA Draft. The Knicks, who hold the No. 3 overall selection, own the No. 55 pick, the sixth-to-last pick in the draft.

Fall's 7-foot-7 measurement in shoes, 8-foot-2 1/4 wingspan and 10-foot-2 1/2 standing reach all set combine records. By all accounts, Fall performed well in combine scrimmages. And Fall wasn't originally invited to the combine, only earning an invite after impressing in the G League Elite Camp.

"With my size, the biggest thing they're always looking for is can he move, run the floor, step out and guard?" Fall told reporters on this week in Chicago. "I feel I have the ability to do those things. I had the ability to play with great competition (here) and it was a blessing. Thank God I'm in this position and I have to take advantage of it. I think I'm doing good and holding my own and not doing anything out of character."

Fall says he is a size 22 shoe, but he doesn't have a pair of dress shoes that size. Perhaps a company will hook him up with a pair if he's going to get drafted into the NBA.

I have never admired anyone more than the reporter who asked Tacko Fall, "What's the worst part of being so tall?"#NBACombine pic.twitter.com/Y9lhSCj8vT
