The other player to stand tall at 7-foot-2 is Mavericks young center Moses Brown, who is the only USA national in the list of centers above 7-feet. He joins Fall and Marjanovic in the list of centers on the tallest players to have gone undrafted as he wasn't picked in 2019.
Among the four players that were picked in the NBA Draft, Kristaps Porzingis is the highest selection. The Latvian center was selected fourth overall in the 2015 Draft by the New York Knicks.
Last but not least is Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, who stands at 7-foot-1 and is the most accomplished big man on the tallest players list. Picked 27th overall in the 2013 Draft, the Frenchman is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, two-time All-Star (2020, 2021) and four-time All-NBA (1 x Second, 3 x Third) player.
