Could Malik Hall join fellow Michigan State Spartan Draymond Green in the NBA?

Could Malik Hall join fellow Michigan State Spartan Draymond Green in the NBA?

Several Spartans have a chance to make the NBA roster this summer, as Michigan State’s Tyson Walker and Malik Hall are currently preparing for the 2024 NBA Draft.

According to Kyle Austin of MLive, Hall practiced with the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, his eighth NBA practice to date.

The Warriors, of course, have a former Spartan on their roster in forward Draymond Green, a four-time NBA champion who is one of the best defensive players of all time.

We recently saw what it’s like to have two Spartans together in the NBA: center Jaren Jackson Jr. and forward Xavier Tillman Sr. when they were teammates on the Memphis Grizzlies. The pair seemed to work well for Memphis, as the Grizzlies made the playoffs in all three years they were together.

Maybe Spartan fans could experience that again with Green and Hall.

Green spent all 12 NBA seasons with Golden State and was a key part of their dynasty. He was named an All-Star four times, made the All-Defensive Team eight times, made the All-NBA Team twice, and was the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year, a season in which he led the league with 2.0 steals per game.

The Warriors selected Green in the second round of the 2012 NBA Draft after his four years at Michigan State.

Hall has five seasons with the Spartans, averaging 8.2 points per game and 4.6 rebounds in 153 career games. He finished his best season averaging 12.7 points per game, 5.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists and started 34 of 35 games during the 2023-24 season.

Hall was named honorable mention All-Big Ten by the league’s coaches for the 2021-22 season.
