For NBA scouting departments, there are certain collegiate players throughout the country that continually pop up onto the radar. For Thunder Vice President of Identification and Intelligence Will Dawkins, it was a sturdy guard from the University of Virginia who kept crossing into his path.
A redshirt senior, Devon Hall, a 6-foot-6, 206-pound guard from the University of Virginia continually made an impression on Dawkins, Thunder General Manager and Executive Vice President Sam Presti and the rest of Presti’s staff. With four years of visits to Charlottesville to watch the Cavaliers, summer showcases and other meetings, the Thunder staff has gotten a bunch of cracks at charting Hall’s progression, and been able to tap into his character.
