He was fifth in the NBA in rebounding in 1994-95 and second in the league in field-goal percentage in 1996-97.

In September 1997, Hill was part of a star-studded three-team trade, sent to the Milwaukee Bucks with Terrell Brandon and a first-round pick in 1998. Cleveland got back Sherman Douglas from the Bucks and Shawn Kemp from the Seattle SuperSonics.

The Cavs brought Hill back in an August 2001 trade along with Jumaine Jones from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Robert Traylor, Matt Harpring and Cedric Henderson.

Hill was waived in February 2003.

In parts of six seasons with Cleveland, Hill averaged 10.8 points and 9.2 rebounds in 29.8 minutes per game, shooting .521/0-for-5/.650.

As a senior at Xavier, Hill averaged 20.2 points and 12.6 rebounds per game.

He was the 11th overall pick by the Warriors in the 1990 NBA Draft.

In March 1999, Hill was traded to Philadelphia.

In March 2003, he returned to the 76ers as a free agent.

Hill signed with the Miami Heat in November 2003, retiring after he was waived less than a month later.
