Auburn forward Keyshawn Hall has been invited to the 2026 NBA Combine in Chicago. Could he be the eighth Tiger drafted since 2019?

Auburn basketball has built a well-deserved reputation for churning out NBA-ready talent, and forward Keyshawn Hall is the latest Tiger poised to add to that legacy. Hall has officially received an invitation to the 2026 NBA Combine, set for May 10-17 in Chicago—a major step toward potentially becoming the eighth Auburn player drafted since 2019.

Hall is among 73 players invited to this year's combine, and one of just 15 from the SEC. He'll share the stage with standout conference peers like Alabama's Labaron Philon, Vanderbilt's Tyler Tanner, and Arkansas' Trevon Brazile, all vying to impress scouts and boost their draft stock.

In his lone season on the Plains, Hall delivered a career-best performance, averaging 19.3 points and 7.1 rebounds over 33.6 minutes per game while shooting 45% from the field. His consistency was remarkable: he scored at least 10 points in 28 of 29 regular-season games. Hall hit a season-high 32 points in back-to-back contests—a narrow loss to Texas A&M and a dominant 22-point victory over Arkansas, both inside Neville Arena. He also shined during Auburn's NIT Championship run, averaging 15.8 points per game and dropping 20 points in two of the Tigers' five postseason games.

Hall's performance in Chicago could determine if he follows in the footsteps of recent Auburn draftees like Johni Broome, who was selected No. 35 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2025 NBA Draft. Since 2019, Auburn has produced seven NBA draft picks—including first-rounders Jabari Smith, Walker Kessler, Isaac Okoro, and Chuma Okeke—after managing just four in the 19 years prior. Hall has a chance to extend that hot streak and cement his place in Tigers history.
