Saint Joseph’s sophomore Jordan Hall invited to G League Elite Camp

Hall led the Hawks in scoring this season after averaging 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 30 games.

Saint Joseph’s sophomore Jordan Hall has been reportedly invited to participate in the NBA G League Elite Camp, according to JD Shaw of Hoops Rumors.

The elite camp gives prospects the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of NBA and G League scouts, coaches and front-office executives prior to the draft combine in Chicago. The top performers will be invited to perform in the draft combine.

Hall led the Hawks in scoring this season after averaging 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 30 games. He set a program record for career assists per game (5.7) and had the second-most double-digit assist games with five.

He has hired an agent and will forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility.

The 6-foot-8 guard is projected to be an early-to-mid second-round pick this year. He has good size as a lead ballhandler and could play multiple positions at the next level. Hall is highly touted for his court vision and unselfishness as a guard.

The NBA draft will take place on June 23.
