Versatile Guard Still Grinding in Professional Ranks
The 29-year-old Illinois State alum has carved out a journeyman's path through international and G-League competition since his college days. A 6'7" combo guard with solid size for the position, Hillsman showed promise at SJSU (14.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG in 2017-18) and Illinois State (7.1 PPG, 40.9% FG). While his professional trajectory has been modest—currently averaging 3.6 PPG in limited G-League minutes—his positional versatility and decade-long pursuit of professional basketball demonstrate grit and adaptability. Best suited for teams seeking depth at guard with international experience.
