Summary:
Donta Hall is a very athletic big man that may project into a defensive specialist role in the NBA. He can rebound and block shots, and on offense he can finish plays around the basket due to his ability to score on hustle plays.
However, he does not look to take many shots, and his game on that end may need a lot of refining. He rarely looks to score outside the hoop area, and he will need to really improve offensively. Even so, NBA scouts and teams may be intrigued with Hall’s athleticism, motor, and defensive potential, as he could be a potential second round pick in 2019.
