Check out this great article from Kris Wright of The Sabre:
The Virginia basketball program continued to show how well it develops and prepares players for professional careers this week. Devon Hall, who helped the Cavaliers set a program record with 31 wins this past season, continued to participate in the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, while Anthony Gill picked up an award for his play overseas.
Hall received a spot at the invite only Combine after a strong senior season with the Hoos. He averaged 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. Along the way, he received second-team All-ACC and All-ACC Defensive Team recognition and All-ACC Tournament honors.
Over the course of his career, Hall started 89 games and played in four straight NCAA Tournaments. Virginia won 113 games with just 26 losses in the four years he was on the court.
The Virginia Beach native is trying to become the fifth Cavalier drafted in the last six years. Mike Scott (2012), Joe Harris (2014), Justin Anderson (2015), and Malcolm Brogdon (2016) have been the previous four selections during the Tony Bennett era. Compare that to the years before Bennett’s arrival. He performed well at the Portsmouth Invitational in April, though he didn’t put up big numbers in his first game at the Combine.

ESPN draft analyst Mike Schmitz and others project Hall as a possible draft pick in the second round and a good candidate to carve out a roster spot as an NBA role player.
