July 10: Hall’s two-way contract with Denver is now official, according to NBA.com’s transactions log.
June 27: The Nuggets are signing center PJ Hall to a two-way contract, sources tell Harrison Wind of DNR Sports (Twitter link).
Hall had been considered a first round-level talent by the Nuggets, per Wind, but he ended up going undrafted.
During a four-season collegiate stint, Hall showed massive improvements from his freshman to senior seasons. In 2023/24, he averaged 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals per night across 36 games, with a .488/.315/.779 shooting line. The scoring, rebounding, and blocks represented his NCAA career highs.
The 6’10” big man was twice named an All-ACC honoree while with the Tigers.
Denver finished with a 57-25 record and the No. 3 seed in 2023/24, but failed to defend its 2023 championship when it fell to the jumbo-sized, defense-first Timberwolves in a seven-game semifinal series. Taking a flier on size with an undrafted free agent is an intriguing tactical move.
