Devon Hall made sure his first Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four was one to remember as he became Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul's X-factor in Abu Dhabi.
The 29-year-old – in his first year at Fenerbahce since joining from EA7 Emporio Armani Milan – already stepped up in the playoff series against Paris Basketball, averaging 10.3 points on near-perfect shooting (75.0% 2FG, 100% 3FG, 90.0% FT), 2.7 assists and a PIR of 14.0 to help his team sweep the best-of-five series. Hall carried his great momentum into the Final Four.
In the semifinal against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, Hall was Fenerbahce's first player to score, burying a three-pointer. He soon added a Euro-step reverse layup and another bomb from downtown for a 16-12 Fenerbahce lead. He added two more triples and a big dunk in traffic. Fenerbahce beat Panathinaikos 82-76 and Hall played a big role with a team-high and season-high 18 points on 3-of-4 two-pointers and 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc.
Hall was also incredibly solid in the Championship Game against AS Monaco, doing a little bit of everything. He buried a three-pointer, added a big dunk and, above all, an acrobatic three-point play to put Fenerbahce ahead, 33-35, at halftime. He kept going after thre break with a driving layup and another three-pointer to finish the game with 13 points.
To cap off his Final Four, Hall was the last player holding the basketball in the final seconds of the game. After that, it was time to celebrate as after four seasons in the competition, Hall is now a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champion.
