PJ Hall has been among the most loyal of Clemson athletes during his four seasons playing basketball for the Tigers.
The 6-foot-10-inch center from Spartanburg carved out a stellar career at Clemson, and now he will try and do the same at the professional level. Hall announced via social media on Friday afternoon that he will forgo a fifth season with the Tigers and declare for the NBA draft.
“Four years ago, I made what I know now to be one of the best decisions of my life, to be a Clemson Tiger,” wrote Hall. “Over these last four years, God bless me with such an incredible school, team, coaching staff, and fan base. I can’t thank him enough for doing so. Without Jesus, none of this would have been possible.”
