The college basketball season has come to a close and Clemson’s roster could look very different in 2024-25. PJ Hall is the biggest factor in that as the pro game awaits him.
Hall has another year of eligibility but the NBA is a very possible option for him. After the Elite Eight run, Hall said “I don’t want to overstay my welcome” after his four years as a Tiger.
The first-team All-ACC center averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds as a senior. Here’s the roundup of mock drafts and where Hall could end up at the NBA level.
Pick No. 41 – Boston Celtics
Pick No. 56 – Memphis Grizzlies
Pick No. 30 – Boston Celtics
“The Celtics aim to have five shooters on the floor at all times. They need frontcourt depth, and a physical, 6-10 forward like Hall fits head coach Joe Mazzulla’s scheme. He’s mobile enough to switch on defense, and he’s comfortable spacing the floor as a shooter. He only shot 31.5 percent on 3s this season, but his form is smooth and he’d get more open looks in Boston than he ever did at Clemson.”
Pick No. 47 – Sacramento Kings
“PJ Hall’s strengths and weaknesses were evident during Clemson’s four NCAA tournament games. He showed his ability to get shots off in the post by sealing defenders, spinning off them or fading away. Hall showed confidence in his shooting range, even if the threes weren’t falling. He became vulnerable when forced to face up and put the ball down, and despite encouraging form and shotmaking ability, his 31.5 three-point percentage reflects some unreliability.”
