Early Life and Family in Durham
Joshua Karon Lee Hall was born on October 8, 2000, in Durham, according to Wikipedia. RealGM lists his birthplace as Rolesville, North Carolina, so the exact town varies by source. Durham is where he grew up and first made a name.
His father, Quincy Hall, played at West Rowan High School in the 1990s. Quincy later played in Finland and had a stint in the NBA Development League, now the G League, according to the Salisbury Post. His mother, Tenika R. Hall, is from Salisbury, North Carolina.
Hall attended Morehead Montessori Elementary and Lakewood Montessori Middle School before starting high school, the Salisbury Post reported in 2017. Basketball ran through the household. Quincy coached the Durham Hurricanes, the AAU program Josh played for, and described his son’s skill set at 19 as amazing.
A Late Bloomer on the Road to Oak Hill
Hall started high school at Southern High School in Durham for the 2015-16 school year. He was not a nationally known name. His first real noise came in the summer of 2016 with the Durham Hurricanes, when he stood about 6-foot-3 and was mostly a three-point shooter, according to the Salisbury Post.
For his next two years, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, the school where Carmelo Anthony, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant played. He played for Oak Hill’s local team, not its prestigious national squad. As a junior, he tried out for the national squad and did not make it, according to The News & Observer.
In February 2017, as a 10th grader, he averaged 12 points in tournament wins for Oak Hill’s Varsity Red team at the NACA Nationals in Dayton, Tennessee, per the Salisbury Post. RealGM lists his AAU stops as Team Charlotte, Durham Hurricanes, Team Loaded, and Team CP3. Missing the top team kept him out of the bigger recruiting conversation until his postgraduate year. The Salisbury Post later cast his rise as a late-bloomer story.
The Moravian Prep Breakout
Hall moved to Moravian Prep in Hudson, North Carolina, for his senior season and stayed for a postgraduate year, according to the Associated Press. In that postgraduate season, he averaged 24 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and led the team to a 34-3 record, per The News & Observer. He also added 15 pounds of muscle.
The News & Observer ran a June 2019 profile with the headline “From an unknown to 5-star recruit?” At the Carmel Classic Tip-Off, Hall had a breakout game against his old Oak Hill team, and the Phenom Hoop Report says his stock climbed from there. Before his senior year ended, that outing had him inside the top 25 players in the country.
Phenom Hoops named him North Carolina Player of the Year. By the end of his prep career, Rivals rated him a five-star recruit and ranked him 21st overall, while 247Sports (31st) and ESPN (40th) listed him as a four-star prospect.
The Pattern Behind the Rise
Three changes stand out in the record. Hall grew from about 6-foot-3 in 2016 to 6-foot-9, per the Salisbury Post and the G League, and he added 15 pounds of muscle at Moravian, per The News & Observer. He also moved into a lead role: a player who averaged 12 points on Oak Hill’s local team in 2017 averaged 24 at Moravian. The comparison is imperfect, since the competition differed, but the jump is large.
The rise happened in roughly four years, from a Durham shooter on a summer team in 2016 to a five-star recruit in 2019. Rankings built on a climb that steep carry more uncertainty than those built on years of consistent production, which may help explain why evaluators disagreed: Rivals had him 21st, ESPN 40th.
Choosing NC State, Then Skipping College
On November 18, 2019, Hall committed to NC State over offers from Louisville, DePaul, and others, according to Sports Illustrated. On April 6, 2020, he declared for the NBA draft while keeping his college eligibility. On April 30, he announced that he would stay in the draft and sign with an agent.
“I’m two feet into this process,” he said in a social media post reported by the Associated Press. ESPN noted it was the second straight year a key recruit bypassed the Wolfpack for the draft, after Jalen Lecque in 2019. Prep players qualify for the draft if they turn 19 during the calendar year and a full NBA season has passed since their high school class graduated, ESPN explained, which is why Hall could skip college after a postgraduate year.
The Salisbury Post described him as an excellent three-point shooter who could handle the ball and defend multiple positions. The 2020 draft was delayed to November, and Hall went undrafted. Quincy Hall told the Salisbury Post he considered his son the safest pick in the draft, an assessment the draft results did not bear out.
Oklahoma City Thunder Years
After the draft, Hall signed a two-way contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 9, 2020, NBA.com reported. The Thunder signed center Moses Brown to a two-way deal the same day. The contract let Hall move between the NBA roster and the G League.
Hall played 21 NBA games that season and started one. He averaged 16.0 minutes, 4.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, shooting 30.3% from the field and 10.8% from three, per figures cited on his Wikipedia page. The G League’s records add one appearance for the Oklahoma City Blue, in which he scored 2 points in 15 minutes.
The Thunder waived him on September 12, 2021. That season is the only one he has spent in the NBA, according to RealGM.
G League and Overseas Chapters
1. Raptors 905 in 2021-22
The Toronto Raptors signed Hall to an Exhibit 10 contract in October 2021, Hoops Rumors reported, then waived him so he could join Raptors 905, their G League team. He played 24 games that season and averaged 5.6 points and 3.0 rebounds, shooting 41.6% from the field and 30.8% from three, per the G League. Wikipedia’s career-history box lists the Maine Celtics for 2021-22, but its text and the G League’s own page point to Raptors 905, so this article follows those.
2. Maine and Grand Rapids in 2022-23
On October 24, 2022, Hall joined the Maine Celtics’ training camp roster but did not make the opening-night roster. The Grand Rapids Gold acquired him on February 11, 2023, according to G League transactions, and waived him on March 3 after three games in which he averaged 2.3 points.
3. Cape Town Tigers in the BAL
Between those two moves, the Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League announced Hall’s signing on February 23, 2023, per Sport News Africa. He left the team before the 2023 BAL playoffs, according to the league’s playoff roster report. The G League’s player page still lists him as a Grand Rapids Gold forward, and no newer signing appears in the sources reviewed.

Playing Style and Strengths
Coming out of high school, Hall was known for three-point shooting, ball-handling, and the ability to guard multiple positions, according to the Salisbury Post. At 6-foot-9 and 190 pounds, he has the length of a modern wing and a frame still light for the NBA.
His professional numbers show where the work remained. He made 10.8% of his threes in the NBA and 30.8% with the Raptors 905, well short of what the shooting scouts described.
Josh Hall Height, Weight, and Age
Hall is listed at 6-foot-9 (2.06 meters) and 190 pounds (86 kilograms) by Wikipedia and the G League. He was born on October 8, 2000, which makes him 25 years old, and he turns 26 on October 8, 2026. The Salisbury Post described him as about 6-foot-3 in the summer of 2016, so he gained roughly six inches in four years.
Josh Hall Net Worth and Earnings
No confirmed net worth figure exists for Josh Hall. None of the sources reviewed for this article report his contract values or a reliable estimate. Several biography sites carry guesses, but none names a source or method, so this article does not repeat them.
What is confirmed is the outline of his income: a two-way NBA contract in 2020-21, an Exhibit 10 deal with the Raptors, and G League and Basketball Africa League stints. Two-way and Exhibit 10 contracts generally pay less than standard NBA deals, and G League salaries sit below NBA minimums. Any dollar figure should be treated as an unverified estimate until a primary source reports it.
Relationship Status and Social Media
Hall has not publicly confirmed a relationship, marriage, or children, and the sources reviewed carry no verified details. Dating rumors on low-quality sites cite no sources and are not included. RealGM lists his agent as Michael Johnson Jr., his Instagram as @easymoneyjay5, and his X account as @jay5mula.
What His Career Shows About Skipping College
Hall was the second NC State signee in consecutive years to skip college for the draft. The first, Jalen Lecque, went undrafted in 2019, signed with Phoenix, and played four NBA games and 33 G League games, according to ESPN. Hall’s first pro season produced 21 NBA games, more than Lecque’s four.
For readers weighing the same choice, his path is a useful data point. A five-star ranking and an early draft declaration did not result in a drafted contract, but he still played NBA minutes within a year.
