It seems to be just a matter of time… Former HoopState star Josh Hall had himself a career night against the Clippers on Sunday night, giving everyone a small glimpse of what he could be for the Oklahoma City Thunder down the road.
With Oklahoma City eliminated from the playoffs, it has given an opportunity for a few young names to get some significant minutes including Hall and he didn't disappoint. Finishing with a new career-high and a double-double, Hall played 43 minutes and finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in a 117-112 win.
Hall had this to say after his impressive performance:
'It means a lot,' said Hall. 'This organization has done a good job of keeping me in it. Countless hours of rehab, just keeping my spirits up and letting me know that better days are coming. This is definitely a good way to cap off the season.'
Coach Daigneault had this to say about Hall after his game:
'I give Josh a lot of credit,' said Daigneault. 'He's had a tough year. It hasn't been easy going through what he's gone through and he came out tonight and played really well and gave himself a lot of confidence going into the summer.'
Hall was a star back in North Carolina and certainly has been a role-model for other players coming through North Carolina and who has aspirations of playing at the highest level. Many could see the potential in Hall's game and this looks to just be the start of what he hopes to be a long career in the NBA. But it was nice for Hall to give a reminder of what he has to offer with his game to all, as he looks to be a young and rising prospect.
Congrats Josh to your career night and we all can't wait to see more of these performances!
