CLEMSON – Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski thinks that Clemson center PJ Hall is one of the best big men in the country, and he’s right. The fact that Hall is playing as well as he is while dealing with a painful injury makes the feat even more impressive.
Hall has put up stellar numbers through the Tigers’ first 20 games, averaging 14.8 points and 6.1 rebounds while shooting 48% from the field. And he’s done all of that while dealing with a sore left foot, a stress reaction that flared up six games into the season and became worse after the tenth game, a win over Drake in Atlanta.
