Where to watch PJ Hall, Joe Girard in NBA Summer League action this weekend

Here’s how those looking to see PJ Hall and Joe Girard in the NBA Summer League can watch.

Two of the biggest contributors to Clemson’s run to the Elite Eight this past season will be in Las Vegas this weekend when the NBA Summer League tips off.

Former Tigers big man PJ Hall, who officially signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, will be in Vegas for the Nuggets’ Friday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers at Cox Pavilion. Tipoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET.

Those looking to watch the game can do so on NBA TV or with an ESPN+ subscription. NBA TV is carried by popular live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and FuboTV.

A two-way contract allows NBA teams to carry up to three players in addition to those already on their active rosters. Two-way players typically spend most of their time between the G League and the parent NBA club. Denver’s G League team is the Grand Rapids Gold.

Hall played in all 36 games for Clemson a season ago and averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds a night. He was projected as a late second-round pick in many NBA mock drafts but went undrafted. Hall joins a Denver franchise that features a former Clemson teammate of Hall’s in forward Hunter Tyson.

Additionally, former Tigers guard Joe Girard will be in Vegas as part of the Toronto Raptors’ Summer League team. A transfer from Syracuse ahead of the 2023-24 season, Girard averaged 15.1 points per game last season while shooting 43 percent from the field.

The Raptors open Summer League play Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. The game can be seen on NBA TV or with an ESPN+ subscription.

Former Clemson star PJ Hall officially signs with the Denver Nuggets

Hall and the Nuggets make it official.

Former Clemson big man PJ Hall has signed his contract and found a home in the NBA. After going undrafted on Day 2 of the 2024 NBA Draft in New York, Hall secured a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets. He’ll reunite with his former Clemson teammate Hunter Tyson, who was a second-round pick in 2023.

Hall finished his impressive four-year run at Clemson by averaging 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in the 2023-24 season. Starting all 36 games, he was the fourth-leading scorer in the ACC and played a pivotal role in helping Clemson reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1980.

He now looks to make a difference with the Nuggets at the game’s highest level.

After not being selected on Day 2 of the 2024 NBA Draft in New York, Hall has signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets. He’ll reunite with former Clemson teammate Hunter Tyson in the Nuggets’ organization. Tyson was a 2023 second-round pick.

Hall was forecast in many mock drafts to be a second-round pick, as well. CBS Sports had him going as high as No. 41 overall to the Philadelphia 76ers while Bleacher Report saw Hall as a No. 45 pick (by Sacramento). On3’s final mock draft had him as a second-round pick by the NBA champion Boston Celtics.

PJ Hall goes to NBA champion Boston Celtics in last On3 mock draft

On3 sees Hall going to the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

The 2024 NBA Draft is just two days away, and Clemson’s PJ Hall is one of several players hoping to hear their names called on Day 2 of the draft in New York.

On3 released its latest — and final — mock draft Monday morning and sees Hall going to the NBA champion Boston Celtics. Boston has the 30th and 55th picks in the draft, and On3 sees Hall being chosen by the Celtics in the second round.

In On3’s mock draft, Hall went one spot ahead of Southern California’s Bronny James. France’s Zaccharie Risacher has been forecast as the consensus top overall pick in this year’s draft.

Last week, CBS Sports had Hall going 41st overall to the Philadelphia 76ers. Bleacher Report and The Ringer both projected Hall going four spots below at 45th overall to the Sacramento Kings, and The Athletic had the former Clemson forward going 50th overall to the Indiana Pacers.

Hall closed out a memorable four-year run at Clemson by averaging 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in 2023-24. He made all 36 starts last season and helped lead Clemson to the school’s first Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1980.

Hall is hoping to become the second Tigers player selected in back-to-back NBA Drafts. A year ago, Clemson’s Hunter Tyson was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 37th overall pick.

Clemson-to-Philly connection for PJ Hall in 2024 NBA Draft?

Clemson’s PJ Hall is hoping to see his name called in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft next week.

Earlier this year, two Clemson players — running back Will Shipley and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. — were drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Could another rookie from Clemson be headed to Philadelphia next? At least one NBA Draft analyst think so.

In his latest mock draft, CBS Sports’ Kyle Boone forecasts Clemson forward PJ Hall to be a second-round selection (No. 41 overall) by the Philadelphia 76ers in next week’s NBA Draft. It’s the highest spot Hall has been forecast in recent mock drafts.

Hall worked out for the Golden State Warriors on June 7.

Per Boone’s analysis of Hall:

“The on-court/off-court metrics for Clemson with and without PJ Hall last season are staggering. The big man has a skilled game on the interior and is coming off a career year in which he averaged 18.3 points per game.”

Bleacher Report projects Hall going 45th overall to the Sacramento King in the draft, to be held Wednesday, June 26 and Thursday, June 27. The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie projects Hall as the 50th overall pick by the Indiana Pacers.

Comparing Hall to New Orleans Pelicans forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman writes:

“PJ Hall didn’t scrimmage in Chicago after participating last year. There is ultimately enough game film of the senior playing against NBA-caliber bigs from the ACC.

Hall will still have to sell teams on his shooting during workouts, but he’s consistently improved his range. And between his physical profile and fundamentals around the post, his post scoring feels translatable.”

First-round selections for the 2024 NBA Draft will be held Wednesday night at 8 p.m. at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The draft will conclude Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. with second-round selections.

ESPN will broadcast both rounds of the draft. ABC will televise the first round, as well.

Former Clemson center PJ Hall wants to prove himself as a consistent shooter

After an inconsistent year shooting the ball, PJ Hall is looking to prove himself from beyond the arc in workouts ahead of the draft.

After an inconsistent year shooting the ball, former Clemson center PJ Hall is looking to prove himself from beyond the arc in workouts ahead of the 2024 NBA draft.

Hall was named to the All-ACC first team after averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks on 48.8% shooting from the field in 36 games. He was one of nine players in the country to average at least 18 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block.

The 6-foot-10 senior shot 31.5% from 3-point range, down from a career-high 39.8% the previous year. He started the season off hot, shooting 39.6% in November and December, but struggled in January after converting just 18.9% (7-of-37).

He wants his shooting to return to his junior-year form.

It took a dip this past year. (I) had a bad shooting stretch in the middle of the year, and picked it up to get back over 30(%) after my junior year shooting it 40%. I’m trying to get it back up and prove I’m a good shooter and consistent. My mechanics and shot are feeling great right now.

Hall is considered a potential second-round pick. He projects to step in at the next level and provide scoring and rebounding, given his mobility and athleticism. He has worked to extend his range after finding great success in the paint.

The 22-year-old tested the predraft process last year and emerged as one of the top performers at the G League Elite Camp and draft combine. He skipped the scrimmages this year but performed well in the athletic testing after recording a 39 1/2-inch max vertical.

Hall worked out with the Golden State Warriors on Friday and will have additional visits scheduled before the draft on June 26-27. He is enjoying the process and is eager to continue proving himself.

“The thing I enjoy the most is kind of seeing how different teams operate,” Hall said. “The different kind of things they put you through and different kind of guys they want to see (with) certain kinds of matchups and stuff that’ll fit their system.”

Ohio State forward Jamison Battle, Clemson forward PJ Hall, Memphis forward David Jones, San Diego State forward Jaedon LeDee, Colorado State guard Isaiah Stevens and G League guard Bryson Warren.

Via @DaltonJ_Johnson on Twitter:

Hall has been listed alongside the Warriors in past mock drafts. Hall is coming off a first-team All-ACC campaign, averaging 18.3 points on 48.8% shooting from the field to go along with 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game.

Jones earned an All-AAC first-team nod with the Memphis Tigers last season, averaging 21.8 points on 45.9% shooting from the floor with 7.6 boards and 2.2 steals per game under Penny Hardaway.

LeDee was a third-team AP All-American and Karl Malone Award winner for the best power forward in the nation. LeDee broke the San Diego State single-season record for points with 772. LeDee averaged 21.4 points on 56% from the field with 8.4 boards and 1.3 assists in 32.6 minutes per game. LeDee scored 30 or more points in three different contests, including 32 against UAB in the NCAA tournament.

All-ACC center PJ Hall to enter 2024 NBA draft, forgo eligibility

Hall was one of nine players in the country to average at least 18 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block this season.

Clemson senior PJ Hall announced Friday on Instagram that he has entered the 2024 NBA draft and will forgo his last year of remaining college eligibility.

Hall was named to the All-ACC first team after averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks on 48.8% shooting from the field in 36 games. He was one of nine players in the country to average at least 18 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block.

Hall tested the predraft process last year and emerged as one of the top performers at the G League Elite Camp and draft combine in Chicago, Illinois. He ultimately opted to return to school for one more season to improve his skill set.

The decision to stay at Clemson resulted in his best season in college. He scored in double figures in every game but one and registered 14 20-point games, including a season-high 31 points and 17 rebounds on Jan. 16, to lead the Tigers to the Elite Eight.

Hall will once again have the opportunity to improve his draft positioning in team workouts and interviews. He is considered a potential second-round pick and projects to step in at the next level and provide scoring and rebounding, given his mobility and athleticism.

The 2024 NBA draft will take place June 26-27 in New York City.

Clemson star PJ Hall declares for the 2024 NBA draft

Clemson star PJ Hall declares for the draft.

Clemson men’s basketball is losing arguably their best player to the 2024 NBA draft. 

Clemson center PJ Hall is entering the draft after four seasons with the program. His impact on this program has been tremendous, with Clemson seeing some of its best seasons with Hall on the roster. 

“For four years, I poured absolutely everything I had into Clemson,” Hall said. “I wouldn’t change one thing about my career. With that being said, I will be chasing my dream and entering my name into the NBA draft.

“Four years ago, I made what I know now to be one of the best decisions of my life — to be a Clemson Tiger. These last four years, God blessed me with such an incredible school, team, coaching staff, and fan base. I can’t thank him enough for doing so. Without Jesus, none of this would have been possible.”

“I want to specifically thank all of my teammates and coaches for believing in me throughout my entire career. You all helped propel me to where I stand today, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished together.”

During his career with the Tigers, Hall earned All-ACC honors two times. As a senior, he averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. In his career, he averaged 14.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
