He didn't say "you won't be able to play any pro ball anywhere in the world." He said "you don't have NBA talent."

Why are you trying to make it be something other than what he clearly said?

Maybe it explains why Kentucky isn't on his list.

Hall needs to learn to finish at the rim to play in the NBA. A system won't do

Also, guards that hit 60% of their FTs aren't heavily sought after and the

This is the big hole in his game. I think he will improve here

FT's are one of the most "improveable" things in Bball, next to "effort," which

Nice to have, think his finishing at rim ability is a game changer

Dr T-bone

Hall is really good but also needs to be more than just spot up 3 pt shooter

He actually gets to the rim well enough as a college player but once he gets

Bingo...also needs to be able to shoot off the bounce...

That's not really the stuff you expect an RM sophomore to have in his game yet tho

Richie added it to his game this past off-season...

icecougar

It takes players different lengths of time to develop parts of their game

there are parts of the "finishing at the rim" skill that you can work on...

That's fair but Dallin seems to have a touch problem more than anything

They’ll have to watch UK games to learn from Richie

I like Hall but he isn't NBA talent

Yeah no. Respect to hall but no

Don Carlton

Hall needs a system and a coach that it won’t matter if he misses the front end of 1 & 1’s

Blue2thebone

Creighton seems to fit those criteria and culture too

great coaching and they have a healthy NIL program. They are problematic...

I live in a community near the Hall's and while I've never heard it

Hopefully he comes back but better shot creation and FTs need huge improvement

coug10278

Held him back? Didn’t he play like 35 mins a game lol. He had the green light

ChiCityCoug

I think it's safe to cross off Kentucky because Pope isn't going to offer him

oxcoug

Apr 15, 3:28pm

No. Otherwise he wouldn't include returning to BYU on his list of possibilities.

cougarfan84

Apr 15, 2:50pm

sure he would, we're going to have a new coach and system..

Maybe he wasn't a fan. Maybe he was. But I don't think there was any way to tell

Right. And what guy playing high level sports isn’t going to dream of doing it

ChiCityCoug

Apr 15, 3:18pm

I believe we should allow Dallin to prove NBA or not. No one knows at this time

Bluforever

Apr 15, 4:54pm

Going out on a limb here….doubt dallin makes his decision based on what CB says

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:20pm

Yet you still wanted to criticize him. Hoping Hall never reads CB.

You realize there are leagues other than the NBA right?

You do realize the tweet said NBA, correct? Did I say anything besides the NBA?

kansascougar

Apr 15, 5:19pm

Yes you did say something other than NBA lol

Apr 15, 5:19pm

Really? “You don’t have NBA talent”? Is English not your first language?

You implied he has no future career in basketball

See, you really can read minds

You seem pretty upset. Perhaps I was right all along

No, he can probably play overseas but not in the NBA. I hope he succeeds

could also mean that he likes BYU's system and isn't anxious to leave it.

Good point. Bill Self described BYU's system as an NBA style of play.

I want him to stay at BYU. My vote is Clemson if he leaves.
