According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Nuggets and undrafted free agent PJ Hall have agreed to a two-way contract.
After earning third-team All-ACC honors as a junior, the 6-foot-8, 240-pound Hall was even better as a senior. In helping lead Clemson to the Elite 8, he averaged 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.4 blocks, and 1.4 3-pointers per game and was named first-team All-ACC. Hall may not be the tallest big, but the strength he possesses will help in defending bigger players. How effective he is as a pro may depend upon his ability to improve as a shooter; Hall shot just 31.5% from three, but there’s room for growth based on his free-throw percentage (77.9%). This transaction means two former Clemson stars will be on the Nuggets’ roster, with Hall joining 2023 second-round pick Hunter Tyson. Denver needs low-cost players to contribute due to the amount of money tied up in the team’s stars, so Hall may have the opportunity to earn minutes on the back end of the rotation.
