Hall was also named  to the NBA G League’s All-Rookie team.

In February, Donta was called up to the NBA for the Detroit Pistons for a 10-day contract where he played in 4 games.

In his first game for the Pistons, he also recorded 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in the 15 minutes of play he had against the Denver Nuggets.

After the game, Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said:

“Really was impressed with Donta,” Casey said. “Came over a couple of times in the first half, great verticality. I thought there was a bad call. One foul, (Will Barton) did a 360, out of control, and (Hall) got called for a foul. But I thought he did a good job.”

And Donta made it clear… this is just the beginning,

“I’m bringing it every day. Practice, games – I’m coming. I’m not slowing down no time soon.”

Hall has averaged 15.4 points in 36 games this season with the Pistons’ Grand Rapids affiliate in the G League. He has also 67 percent on field goals, while racking up 382 rebounds, 38 assists, 38 steals and 53 blocks.
