FIU’s pesky playmaker with a history of getting to the nitty-gritty
Deric Hill’s FIU profile is built on toughness, vision, and disruption: in the 2012-13 season he averaged 6.2 points, 3.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 105 assists, while also piling up 75 steals and becoming the first FIU sophomore with 100+ assists in a season. He’s the kind of guard who raises the floor with defense, quick decision-making, and competitive edge, which makes him appealing if a team wants a relentless backcourt organizer rather than just a pure scorer. He’s a fit for teams that value pace, pressure, and sneaky-impact winning plays.
