Former Net Becomes One of the Best Players Outside the NBA

Mark Deeks writes that former Brooklyn Nets big man Donta Hall has emerged as one of the best basketball players outside the NBA. Hall spent the 2025-26 season with Greek club Olympiacos, averaging 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in EuroLeague play while shooting 76.5% from the field. According to RealGM metrics, Hall ranked seventh in overall net rating among 11,669 qualified players globally last season.

Deeks highlights that Hall helped lead Olympiacos to a EuroLeague championship while maintaining exceptional efficiency and improving his defensive intensity. Before his overseas success with Monaco, Baskonia, and Olympiacos, Hall made brief NBA appearances for the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, and Orlando Magic, but struggled to secure consistent playing time.
