I would prefer pull up J's just outside his range (only when he is in). If we are going to go at him with floaters I would prefer to just go right at his body or use the rim as protection as you mention. He has negatively affected way too many floaters against us over time or even shorter pull up J's that we misjudged his range on.
We should have the mid range J all open night while Tacko is in. Either that or go right at him...stop trying to shoot over him at close range

Trying to shoot floaters over Tacko Fall reminds me of what 7-footer James Edwards said about trying to shoot his signature fadeaway against 7'7" Manute Bol:
"I remember going up to shoot my fadeaway jumper against him, and I
just kept fading and fading and fading. By the time I thought I had a clear
shot, I didn't even hit the rim."
