The 6'7” combo forward with serious upside and a versatile inside-out skillset. Hall posted up and scored with his back to the basket, slipped into backdoor cuts, made instinctive dives that led to dunks, and showed transition burst where his athleticism shined as he finished above the rim with ease. Facing up, [player_tooltip player_id='2635232' first='Trey' last='Hall'] was comfortable bumping his defender, creating separation, and stepping back into a clean mid-range look showcasing a scoring variety at multiple levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2554971"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692a8b1665731"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'8” forward and exceptional rebounder whose size, length, and instincts allowed him to control the glass.
