I think if he could be a better finisher around the rim, that would be a big improvement for him. He handles the ball well, is a good shooter, good distributor, but he isn't great at being a threat to finish at the rim or draw and make free throws.

He can make threes, but struggles scoring everywhere else. He sometimes struggles with quicker guards, but most do.

I would love to have a Dallin Hall type player

That’s good. Well done.

We need Hall back next year if we want another Sweet 16 run. BYU just can't recruit

CSoul

If he’s the starter byu won’t be in the sweet 16

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:37pm

My post was assuming him as a backup.

CSoul

Mar 28, 8:12pm

But AJ and KY want to make a run at a FF and NC. Hall needs to be the backup

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:47pm

I didn't say he should be the starter. Which I assume the laughy faces were for. The standard crew that hates Hall.

CSoul

Mar 28, 8:12pm

It’s not Hate at all if you don’t see Hall being a meaningful piece of a top 25 team

KYU

Mar 28, 7:35pm

He was a meaningful piece of a top 25 team already the last two years.

I like Hall but we shouldn’t be content if someone better is available.

Cohesiveness is super important. Unless Egor comes back Hall is our PG.

Mar 28, 8:54pm

Is it? The vast majority of the Sweet 16 teams showed the majority of their

ldssdl

Mar 28, 8:58pm

Yes it is. Did you play sports?

pinolero

Mar 28, 9:01pm

It’s a factor but someone new who is better can also be cohesive.

Albuq_Coug

Mar 28, 9:07pm

Yes. You know what else is super important? Talent.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 9:13pm

I felt like he was a non-contributor more often this year than he was a contributor

KYU

Mar 28, 7:44pm

Demin was pretty inconsistent this year. There were many games where Hall was

There were plenty of times he came in and steadied the ship when Demin turned

gwalker

Everyone knows that with CBB you’ll go as far as your guard play takes you

Mar 28, 8:27pm

He’s not a scoring threat and he doesn’t make fts.

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:36pm

Not to mention, his stats dropped off even more in post season play

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:38pm

If you want to go beyond the Sweet 16, Hall is not the answer

arizonacougarfan

Mar 28, 7:38pm

There are plenty of good things about Dallin Hall. But he isn't much of a playmaker. I bet 80% of his assists this

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 7:39pm

Against VCU and Wiscy he had 10 assists, 2 TO’s

mjmill

Mar 28, 7:41pm

He also had 6 points on 2-7 shooting. That’s not good enough.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:48pm

Next year, with so many shots going to Richie and AJ, he doesn’t need to take

BYUHgrad

Mar 28, 8:50pm

Based on what? Most great teams have at least 3, if not 4, high level scorers.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 9:00pm

He needs to be able to score. You can't play a pro offense with a perimeter player that can't score.

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 9:12pm

And he'll be even better next year. Just hope his dagger step back rears it's

He's a mostly steady, quality player who is a step below the

oxcoug

Mar 28, 7:40pm

Let's be honest, though. Richie works as a Final-4 talent NOT as primary scorer.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:47pm

Was supposed to be a response to Projectoor — one above you in the thread, ox.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:53pm

Silly fans who imagined our team was built to do things it wasn't...

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:42pm

So because we don’t see him as a starter on a sweet 16 team we are all terrible

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:44pm

For this reason, perhaps: We're NOT IN the Sweet 16 without Dallin Hall.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:48pm

You can't have 5 superstars. Hall fits well with Ritchie, Aj, Keita. Hall leads

pinolero

Mar 28, 7:46pm

He was last night.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Mar 28, 7:49pm

He saved us several times this year. We're not a 6 seed without him.

pinolero

Mar 28, 7:50pm

Wasn’t the only last night…

BYUHgrad

Mar 28, 8:51pm

Hall is certainly a liability from the FT line. His shooting efficiency is only

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:49pm

5 assists per game last year. 4 in less minutes this year. He can knock down

pinolero

Mar 28, 7:54pm

Last year we went 10-8 in Big 12 play, never winning more than 2 in a row, then

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:57pm

Last year was our first in the Big 12 and we don't make the tourney without him.

pinolero

Mar 28, 8:08pm

Yes. But if you don't think we can't upgrade from 7 ppg on 40/35/67 shooting,

ldssdl

Mar 28, 8:19pm

He's not good enough to be the distributor AJ deserves

TNT

Mar 28, 8:39pm

Halls decision making is very good. Cohesion he adds is extremely important too.

pinolero

Mar 28, 8:53pm

Expectations for next year will be off the charts. Hall isn't the guy

TNT

Mar 28, 8:59pm

I think he was an underrated player on this team. He would always hype up Egor

CougarChaser

Mar 28, 7:49pm

If your PG’s best stat is a sub-3:1 assist:TO ratio in the regular season,

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:52pm

His 2.86 ratio in 23-24 was second only to Jamal Shead of UH among Big 12 guards. His 2.56 ratio this year was top 5

mjmill

Mar 28, 8:42pm

Ok. But Hall is not above average in literally any other stat. A sub 3 assist-to

Mar 28, 9:02pm

I would love to see him back, healthy & under a full off-season of development

braddahmike

I agree. Solid player. I see him working hard this summer
