Youssoufa Fall was one of the league's bonafide stud defenders for many, many years. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- What Fall lacks in awards, he makes it up with his pure ability on the court. Fall was one of the most reliable rebounding bigs in the league for many years and played an integral part as the sixth man of many contending teams throughout his career.
- Fall's prime was quite spectacular, likely averaging about 16 PPG and 13.5 RPG throughout the years with the Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, and Cavaliers. You can see just how great he was in his prime as he's one of the all-time leaders in rebounds, blocks, and double doubles even without a great scoring touch.
- No real faults. Fall was a five tool player, who could score, pass, rebound, get stocks, and defend with the best of them, being a major part of the reason his career had good longevity.
Arguments Against Induction
- The lack of awards may be the big downfall here, but that was likely more or less due to him not being used as a scoring option. Fall was on teams to rebound and block, and the scoring just wasn't really there.
- When he was used as a starter, the numbers were there. He was a bench asset his first three years and his last four years, so the averages drop consistently.
- He wasn't an overwhelmingly efficient scorer percentage wise, shooting a career 42.6% from the field and a lackluster 67.5% from the line while never making a three pointer in his career.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***
