Nimrod Hilliard was NCCU’s floor-general engine, not just a box-score guard
In the 2014-15 season, Nimrod Hilliard gave North Carolina Central a high-IQ lead guard who piled up 196 assists, ranked 10th in Division I with 6.3 assists per game, and hit 86.9% from the free-throw line while adding 12.0 points per game and a 41.8% mark from three.[1][2] The fit here is easy to see: he was a steady, playmaking senior who could run an offense, shoot it efficiently, and handle big moments without getting rattled—exactly the kind of guard who makes teammates better.
