College career

Hill was born in Fort Valley, Georgia[1] and came to Virginia Tech from Aquinas High School in Augusta, Georgia. He originally committed to Marquette, but chose to follow coach Buzz Williams when he moved to the Hokies. After starting as a freshman, Hill suffered an offseason knee injury and missed the 2015–16 season.[2] Hill returned to action after his redshirt year and started the majority of his last three seasons. He had his most productive season as a senior, averaging 13.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.[3]

Professional career

Following the close of his college career, Hill played in the 2019 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament to gain exposure to professional scouts.[4] Though he was not selected in the 2019 NBA draft, Hill signed a two-way contract with the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA).[5] The Hornets waived Hill on October 19, 2019.[6] He then signed with the Northern Arizona Suns of the NBA G League.[7]

gollark: Actually, it wouldn't be fine, hm.
gollark: Wait, no, that would be fine actually, I can make that do things.
gollark: Doesn't make sense. Imagine if someone made a contract thing for your fractional krist somehow; you paid it 1KST and got 100cKST out. How do the fees work?
gollark: I'm not sure how to usefully implement a fee without breaking all things ever horribly.
gollark: I can impose memory/CPU limits per-"contract" but NOT easily stop people making 189621782638 evil contracts.
