AEK announced Langston Hall

His acquisition Langston Hall announced the AEK. The American playmaker is the fourth foreigner for Joan Plata’s team, after Jordan McRae, Mindaugas Kuzminskas and Ben McLemore, while two foreigners will now be acquired in the high positions.

The 31-year-old ace (1.93m.) is known to the Greek public from his tenure in Colossus of Rhodes and Promethea of ​​Patras. In fact, with the latter he faced AEK in the Cup final in 2020. Then he competed in Red Star and then for two years in Bakhceşehir. With the Turkish team, he averaged 5.2 points (34.9% on three-pointers), 4.5 assists and 2 rebounds in 23.4 minutes.

He is a very cerebral guard, with great skill in organizing the game and a very capable defender. Scoring is not his forte, but that doesn’t mean he can’t threaten. He will share the organization of the game with Flionis and Karabela, without this meaning that the two of them cannot play together, since Hall has the height to play in the “2” as well.

In his last of three seasons in Prometheus, Hall averaged 10.5 points (35.8% on 3-pointers), 5.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1 steal in 24.7 minutes. In the 2020/21 season, he played with Red Star in the Euroleague, averaging 5.2 points, 2.8 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 16:13 in 21 appearances.
