BIOGRAPHY: This fifth-year senior was a late bloomer, failing to average double figures in scoring until his final season at Purdue. Hill may have been the least-heralded star player from the Big East this season, having ranked among the conference's top five in scoring, rebounding and blocks. His average of 18.1 points per game was behind only Syracuse's Demetrius Nichols in the Big East, and he had 11 double-doubles in his final 16 games at Providence. Though he likely needs to bulk up to be a force at the NBA level, Hill already has impressive shot-blocking ability thanks to his long arms and athleticism. A strong close to the season, along with good play in pre-draft workouts, could end up bumping Hill into the first round. Though the Friars lost four of their final five games, it was hard to blame Hill as he averaged 24.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.0 blocks while shooting 68.8 percent from the field. He has developed a respectable mid-range jumper, but must continue to improve his outside shot as well as his post-up moves. Hill shot below 57 percent from the free-throw line during his career, but hit above 61 percent from the field. He does not shy away from contact, which often benefited his production but could be problematic at the other end of the floor because he would often run into foul trouble.
