Joshua Karon Lee Hall (born October 8, 2000) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). He played for Moravian Prep in Hudson, North Carolina at the postgraduate level. A five-star recruit and former NC State commit, Hall chose to forgo college basketball and immediately enter the 2020 NBA draft.[1] He is a 6-foot-9-inch (2.06 m), 190-pound (86 kg) small forward.

High school career[edit]

Hall played his freshman season of high school basketball at Southern High School in Durham, North Carolina. For his next two years, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy, playing for its local team rather than its prestigious national team. Hall tried out for the national team during his junior season but did not make the team.[2] Hall played a postgraduate season at Moravian Prep in Hudson, North Carolina, averaging 24 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and leading his team to a 34–3 record.[3] At Moravian, he put on 15 pounds of muscle and emerged as a top player in his high school class.[2] Hall was named the North Carolina Player of the Year by scouting service Phenom Hoops.[4]

Recruiting[edit]

On November 18, 2019, Hall committed to play college basketball for NC State over offers from Louisville and DePaul, among others.[5] By the end of his high school career, he was considered a five-star recruit by Rivals and a four-star recruit by 247Sports and ESPN.[6] On April 6, 2020, Hall declared for the 2020 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility.[7] On April 30, he announced that he would remain in the draft and sign an agent, forgoing college basketball.[8]
