UVA's Hall Allocated to Dazzle
October 6, 2003 - NBA G League (G League)
Roanoke Dazzle News Release
ROANOKE, Va., October 6, 2003 â Adam Hall, former University of Virginia standout, was named today as an allocated player for the Roanoke Dazzle by the National Basketball Development League.
Chris Alpert, Director of Basketball Operations and Player Personnel for the NBDL, named Hall among five other players allocated to five of the six NBDL clubs for the league's third season. Allocated players have regional ties to their teams, and receive berths in the training camps of the teams in the NBA's minor league.
Each team will be allocated two players, and at least one allocated player is guaranteed a spot on an NBDL team's final, 10-player roster. Starting point guard Cory Alexander, another University of Virginia graduate, was the Dazzle's allocated player last year.
"Last year we had the best allocated player in the league, so he'll have some big shoes to fill" Dazzle Head Coach Kent Davison said. "I saw him play at UVA and the Portsmouth Invitationa and he's very athletic and a tough minded defensive player. I think he'll be up to the challenge."
Hall, a 6-foot-5 swingman from Katy, Texas, is known for his spectacular dunks and tough defense. He averaged 10.2 points and 4.9 rebounds a game. Hall ranks eighth on the Cavaliers career list for steals (157) and eleventh on three point-field goals (89).
Hall, 23, played for the Brevard Blue Ducks in the USBL last season. He was named "Rookie of the Week" his first week with the team. He averaged 11.5 points per game.
The other NBDL allocated players announced today are:
Asheville Altitude: Andre Smith (G-University of North Carolina - Asheville)
Columbus Riverdragons: Derrick Bird (PG-Auburn), Jermaine Hall (F-Wagner)
Fayetteville Patriots: Patrick Pope (G-St. Augustine's)
Huntsville Flight: Lovell Craig (G-Troy State)
The Dazzle will open its third NBDL season at the Roanoke Civic Center on Sunday, November 30, with a 4 p.m. tipoff against the Fayetteville Patriots.
