A relentless rim-attacker with a "big guard" frame, the Tigers' standout offers Sacramento elite foul-drawing ability and a lethal shooting stroke refined through four years of constant growth.
With the 2026 NBA Draft one month away, we at KingsRoundtable will continue to highlight all types of prospects for the Sacramento Kings to target in this year's class.
The Kings' staff has also begun to invite players for pre-draft workouts, including Auburn's Keyshawn Hall, who is the player highlighted in this profile.
Constant Improvement
Hall played at a different school in each of his four collegiate seasons, leveling up with each move.
The 6-foot-7 "Big Guard" started his career at UNLV before getting his first opportunity as a full-time starter at George Mason.
After a standout season with the Colonials, Hall made the jump to power 4 with UCF.
Hall made an instant impact, leading the Big 12 in points per game in conference play.
After an All-Big 12 Second Team season, Hall entered the portal while declaring for the NBA Draft, eventually landing with first-year head coach Steven Pearl and Auburn.
Hall once again took a jump, averaging 19.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, shooting an improved 37.9-percent from 3-point range.
Unique Skillset
Hall moves extremely fluidly for his size, attacking the rim with purpose and getting to the free-throw line.
With UCF, Hall set the single-season record for free throws made with 199 and attempted with 244, putting constant pressure on opposing teams' bigs.
This trend continued with the Tigers, as Hall setting the Auburn single season record for most free throws made with 228, ranking second nationally.
Hall also shot a career-best 85.7-percent from the charity stripe on over seven attempts per game.
Draft Projection
Hall is seen as a late-second round draft prospect in most mocks, earning an invite to the NBA Draft Combine earlier this month.
If Hall goes undrafted, he will instantly become a highly-sought after UDFA, possessing a unique skillset and path.
"Keyshawn Hall is a guy that better get looked at in the second round of the NBA Draft this year," Pearl said during Auburn's NIT Championship run. "If I'm an agent and I have a really good player — I'm not putting a player in a workout with that guy. I'm just not."
Are Kings a Fit?
Hall is an interesting player to evaluate because of his positionless offensive game and ability to play multiple roles.
Hall's improvements as a shooter are promising and his rebounding production continued to rise each year of his collegiate career.
The aggressive driver would also help Sacramento, who ranked 21st in free throws made per game, get to the line more frequently.
