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.
