GUELPH, ON - Ahmed Hill joins the Guelph Nighthawks after two seasons of playing in the NBA G-League. A shooting guard with five years of college experience, as well as two seasons in the NBA G League, his elite shooting and defensive prowess will be a huge addition to the roster this upcoming season.

Hill played basketball for Aquinas High School in Georgia, and chose to follow coach Buzz Williams to Virginia Tech. He redshirted his sophomore season due to an offseason injury, and returned the following year as a consistent starter for the remaining three seasons. In Hill's senior year, he averaged 13 points and 4 rebounds per game.

After leaving Virginia Tech, Hill played in the 2019 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Though he was not selected in the 2019 NBA Draft, he signed a contract with the Northern Arizona Suns in the NBA G-League, where he started 25 games and averaged almost ten points per game. In 2020, Hill signed with the Greensboro Swarm, the G-League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets.
