Clemson's Physical Post Anchor Turned NBA Rookie Sensation
PJ Hall, the 6-10 Clemson Tigers center and 2019-20 Gatorade South Carolina Player of the Year, dominated high school with 14.9 PPG, 8.4 RPG, and 1.8 BPG on 53.3% shooting, leading his team to four straight titles; now a Charlotte Hornets rookie in 2025-26, he's posting 4.5 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 50.8% FG in limited minutes, showcasing his physical banger style, leverage mastery, and rim protection despite modest athleticism. Care because his high-motor intensity and battle-tested grit make him an ideal fit for contending teams needing a reliable, high-IQ big who elevates defenses without needing the ball.
