1:39pm: Hall’s two-way contract with the Thunder is now official, the team confirmed in a press release.
10:31am: After spending his first professional season overseas and then in the G League, 2018 second-round pick Devon Hall is joining the Thunder, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). League sources tell Haynes that Hall has agreed to a two-way contract with Oklahoma City.
The No. 53 pick in the 2018 draft, Hall joined the Cairns Taipans of Australia’s National Basketball League last summer due to a roster crunch in Oklahoma City. After spending most of the 2018/19 season down under, the Virginia alum signed a G League contract in late February and finished the year with the Oklahoma City Blue, averaging 7.3 PPG with a .422 3PT% in 10 NBAGL games (21.1 MPG).
When Hall first signed to play in Australia, his agent Daniel Curtin told a reporter that “we expect him to be with the Thunder next season.” That expectation has come to fruition, with the 24-year-old shooting guard poised to claim OKC’s second two-way contract slot.

Hall will join rookie shooting guard Luguentz Dort as the Thunder’s two-way players. The team only has 15 players on standard contracts so far, leaving three openings on the 20-man offseason roster.
My man Hervey next?
Now all they need to do is figure out a way to get out of Chris Paul’s contract, which is far easier said than done.
He’ll be traded mid season. Thunder are only like a million over the cap now anyways.
