Dallin Hall Will Play in the NBA

I think you make a case as to why he has a legit shot, anyway. AND as to why he prob wants to stay put.

Feel he's more solid than some that height so we think he looks shorter but seems legit 6'4".

I've been a big defender of Hall's play. He directs the offense very well & has better size & strength than many PGs

Soupie

Only if he stays does he have a chance

palangi

I’m laughing he won’t legitimately play in the NBA.

“It” factor in Utah high school basketball ≠ NBA

Why do so many people think Hall can't defend?

Because he is a physical defender and doesn’t get steals with quickness. Steals

BYUheaven

Yep, Harden was top 5 one year in steals…

ochobeeguy

Apr 18, 10:15am

Because he’s not super fast laterally

I love Dallin's game, but this post is the main reason

It may be the best part of his game

Remigius

BYU hasn’t put a player in the NBA that stuck since Bradley. Dallin Hall isn’t

Jimmer played 241 games, I would count that personally

Travis Hanson played for the Atlanta Hawks

If you're not on draft radar going into your Junior year it's very unlikely.

"He will eventually figure out how to defend and make FTs."

shoganai

I think he was saying that he will eventually figure that out while in college

He is not “crafty enough” offensively. His finish% at the rim is terrible. He

Excellent college player. Will never play in the NBA

Iman23

Here are the things that make that unlikely: Size, quickness, and shooting.

Mikey

Also Age. I forgot to add that one.

Mikey

Apr 18, 10:15am

I agree he could. Being a 22 yo sophomore hurts.

Plato

Apr 18, 10:14am

He would need to majorly improve his shooting.

Bandit

Apr 18, 10:15am

Just for comparison Dellavedova shot 42/38/86 for his career

Remigius

Their ball handling skills aren’t even in the same vacinity.

NBA G League maybe. Needs to make a *BIG* jump before we start talking NBA.

ninja math

All the naysayers, My player comp for him who I could see him become…Dellavedova

palangi

Apr 18, 10:34am

Seems like the best Comp to me. Obviously Delly was better than Hall is right

jreid191

Apr 18, 10:41am

Yes but not by much. Soph Delly was 13.4/5.3, Hall was 9/5.1. Delly fg% was not

palangi

I hope he comes back and I hope he makes the NBA. There probably aren’t five

DieHarder

Apr 18, 10:36am

Unless you are including G-League as NBA, not a chance .Not on any draft boards,

I think Hall is a great player. He needs to improve his handle and free throws.

Accipiter

Apr 18, 10:48am

Handle and free throws are the major weaknesses. If he improves those he could

It’s all the same guys who said we were toast this year because of how the year previous

Let's bet. I love Dallin; he's a great player and I sincerely hope he stays

Str8CashCougar

...awaiting your response @YLife...

Not a chance. If he stays, he will probably get to work out with Jazz

VirginiaPeanut

He reminds me of a Matthew Dellavedova type player.

Schultz is back

Apr 18, 12:33pm

TBD on NBA, but he could be a terrific college player if he continues his trend.

sandiegocgrfan

Apr 18, 12:53pm

You have to shoot free throws as an NBA guard

chirocoug

Apr 18, 1:02pm

Could Hall guard or score against Curry, Gilgeous-Alexander, Haliburton, Brunson

sandiegocgrfan

Apr 18, 1:15pm

Why couldn’t he guard them?

palangi

Apr 18, 1:23pm

Because I am not sure he can consistently guard college guards, much less

sandiegocgrfan

Apr 18, 5:02pm

I agree on Hall’s height. Ainge is 6’5” but looked a few inches taller than him

VirginiaPeanut

Apr 18, 1:57pm

Want to make a wager?

zerome4sooners

Apr 18, 1:45pm

He sort of reminds me of TJ McConnell that’s stuck in the nba for what 8+ yrs

Blew

Apr 18, 1:54pm

Hahaha. No way. Hall is lucky if he plays over seas.

Hall must to continue to make the kind of progress he made from year 1 to 2 to
