Auburn's top scorer from last season will get an opportunity to raise his draft stock this week.
Keyshawn Hall, like his up-and-down team at Auburn, had a polarizing campaign in his final college season, but there's no doubt about his offensive skill set heading into this year's NBA Draft process. And it's Hall's scoring prowess as a 6-foot-7 wing/forward that's made him an intriguing prospect entering this week's combine.
Hall was one of 73 players invited to the NBA Draft Combine, which gets under way Tuesday in Chicago. Hall did not have to earn a spot through the G League Elite Camp, instead being immediately placed on the NBA's list of potential prospects. As Hall gets set to go through advanced testing and scouting this week, he's most commonly projected as a mid-to-late pick in the second round.
Hall spent only one season at Auburn, averaging a career-high 19.3 points per game on 45% shooting overall and 39% from 3-point range. If selected, Hall will give Auburn a draft pick for the second straight year (Johni Broome in last year's second round) after the program went a couple years without one, following the historic first round in 2022 that saw Jabari Smith become Auburn's highest pick ever at No. 3 overall, and Walker Kessler follow at No. 22.
Hall's defense came into question throughout Auburn's 2025-26 season, including remarks by head coach Steven Pearl that his "best players need to defend better," but the former UNLV, George Mason and UCF transfer was consistently able to score and get to the foul line. He was the SEC's fifth-leading scorer last season and ranked No. 8 in all of college basketball in overall free-throw attempts.
When Auburn missed the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2021, Pearl said Hall was vocal about wanting to continue playing in the NIT. Hall went on to average 15.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists over the five games Auburn won to capture its first NIT title in program history.
"Keyshawn Hall is a guy that better get looked at in the second round of the NBA Draft this year," Pearl said during Auburn's NIT run. "If I'm an agent and I have a really good player — I'm not putting a player in a workout with that guy. I'm just not."
As the NBA Combine gets set to ramp up this week, here's a look at where Hall lands in various mock drafts. Some higher-profile outlets like ESPN and NBA.com currently do not have Hall drafted as one of the 60 selections. The draft is set for June 23-24.
