plus NBA careers are a lot longer than NFL careers with more limited spots available for catching on.

Kyle Collingsworth only had a brief NBA career. But Hall will?

Strictly as a PG, he's more qualified than Kyle in all things NBA except size, imo.

Kyle was a much better athlete

TNT

I wouldn't say much better. His length & height made it seem so. They're both okay athletes w/ better-than-ave strength.

That is not accurate at all

Apr 18, 11:56am

So KC was quicker than Hall? (Not really.) Faster than Hall? (Not really.) More vertical than Hall? If he were,

Yes to all

You saw & remember what you want, then. The WCC played a hand in making KC look physically dominating.

Too Slow to be an NBA PG, Too Poor a Shooter to be Anything Else

Apr 18, 11:50am

His shooting was too limited. That's what killed his chance to stay

TNT

Hall has better handles and is a better shooter. I don't think he makes the NBA

Don't disagree there

KC was way more athletic and at least as good as a passer.

Apr 18, 11:52am

Had KC been 6'2-6'3 — even w his superior reach — I doubt you'd confuse him as a much better athlete than Hall.

Apr 18, 11:56am

Hall is slower and has very little explosion. KC was a better athlete at 17 than

Apr 18, 12:35pm

Yet he did okay in the Big 12 guarding the PG spot. (Better than I thought he'd do, to be honest.)

He was fantastic as a help defender but that has more to do with his basketball

Apr 18, 1:37pm

For a 6'3, solid-build white guy — he's got pretty good quickness, imo.

I wasnt trying to imply he doesn't. I actually like his defense more than

Apr 18, 2:29pm

If he keeps improving his shooting, he has a chance. It's not a great chance

Like you said wingspan is important in the NBA. And the shorter you are

I think predicting an NBA career may be the hardest thing to do in sports.

once you carve out a role and last for ~2-3 years, you tend to stay

One of the holes I see in Hall's game is finishing around the rim.

Apr 18, 11:59am

Poor finisher and FT shooter. That’s not ok for a PG with limited athleticism.
