PJ Hall listed as a Top 100 player in college basketball
CBS Sports has published their list of the Top 100 players in men’s college basketball. Clemson Men’s Basketball player PJ Hall was listed at No. 43.
Matt Norlander’s analysis:
"“Clemson can’t rely on having a top-50 player in the sport annually, so Brad Brownell will be thankful he’s got one such player in his locker room for now. Hall is set to expand on his averages of a season ago (15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 39.8% 3-point shooting as a 6-10 PF/C). He gets high marks for us not just because of his attitude every night, but we think he’ll become a better defender and give Clemson a shot at an NCAA Tournament appearance. Few players are more valuable than him in the ACC.”"
Congratulations to Sawyer Dagan for being named to the All-ACC Track and Field team!
