Source-derived summary

Devon Howard Hall (born July 7, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for Olimpia Milano of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) and the EuroLeague. He played college basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers.

Early life

Hall is the son of Leslie Guidry and Mark Hall and has an older brother, Mark Jr. He attended Cape Henry Collegiate School in Virginia Beach. He chose Virginia for college because of its high graduation rate for African-Americans.

College career

Hall redshirted his freshman year at Virginia, making him emotional because he wanted to be an impact player. As a redshirt freshman, Hall played 10.6 minutes per game and appeared in only 23 games. Through three seasons, Hall averaged 5.2 points per game. As a senior, he averaged 11.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, shooting 44.3 percent from behind the arc on a No. 1 ranked Cavaliers team.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american basketball player (born 1995)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q51120133. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
