Undrafted. What a shame…look how all of that played out. I guess character carries more weight than the average fan can see.
NBA teams did their homework. 4 different schools in college. He quit on us and had his issues at Auburn as well. I'm not at all surprised he wasn't drafted.
Disciplinary Actions
Auburn head coach Steven Pearl removed Hall from the game for disciplinary reasons. The disciplinary issue stemmed from Hall "not living up to the standards and expectations" of the program, leading to a temporary indefinite suspension and keeping him out of Auburn's matchup against Arkansas.
On-Court Frustrations and a Technical Foul
In his final game before the suspension against Vanderbilt, Hall struggled significantly, shooting just 3-for-13 from the floor. He was assessed a technical foul in the second half for arguing with the officials. Head coach Steven Pearl ultimately benched him for the final 12:38 of the game to send a message about emotional control.
Tactical Adjustments
During the Vanderbilt game, the opponent effectively disrupted Hall by plugging the paint and making it difficult for him to score, which threw Auburn's offense out of sync. Coach Pearl chose to finish the game with other players who provided a better spark and successfully cut down the deficit without him.
Defensive Concerns
Beyond the disciplinary issues and technical fouls, Hall’s defensive intensity had fallen short of his coaching staff's expectations.
