Former Clemson Tigers star PJ Hall has received a bold grade for his performance in the 2025-26 season.
Former Clemson Tigers star PJ Hall played a solid role with the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA during the 2025-26 season.
Hall started the year on a two-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, but was released. Following his release, Hall joined the Greensboro Swarm, the Hornets' G League team, and played at a high level, leading to the Hornets signing him to a two-way contract.
He excelled despite limited opportunities with Charlotte, earning an A grade for his performance.
In 12 games for the Hornets, Hall averaged 6.1 points and 5.5 rebounds, shooting 50 percent from the field and 100 percent from three on his two three-point attempts.
He provided quality minutes at center for Charlotte, but went down with an ankle fracture in March, ending his season. However, the Hornets will have him under contract for another season on a two-way deal.
Hall is starting to find his way in the NBA after going undrafted out of Clemson. He spent four years with the Tigers and showed a clear progression every season.
