Last season, which was his first as a starter, was a breakout season for the former IUPUI standout, as he set career highs in scoring(14.2 ppg), assists(4.7 ast), rebounds(3.7 reb), steals(1.1 stl), and minutes Played(34.5 mins).

He learned under one of the best in the game, playing backup point to Tony Parker on the Spurs since 2009, before joining the Pacers halfway through the 2011 campaign.  In the Summer of 2012, Indiana rewarded the talented combo guard with a 5 year-$40 million deal that will keep Hill as the architect of the rapidly rising Pacers in the Eastern Conference.

While his rather immense teammate Roy Hibbert was off training and getting buff this offseason with San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan, Hill was showing out in Cali, starring in the famous Venice Basketball League this Summer.  Last month, he starred in the VBL Celebrity Game, dominating the competition with his elite handles, tight passing, and highlight reel scoring against legendary pint-sized streetball legend Mani Love.
