— Maine Red Claws (@maineredclaws) February 21, 2020As good as Fall's numbers were on Thursday, there's one stat that matters more for him than any other: 30 minutes played. Maine continues to stretch out the center and he continues to contribute in the paint in every way possible.
Fall is building stamina.
