After going unselected in the 2017 NBA Draft, and failing to stick with the Oklahoma City Thunder following a Summer League stint, Hill went international, making stops in the Philippines, Germany, Kazakhstan and Israel between 2017 and 2021. He nabbed a training camp deal with the New Orleans Pelicans in the run-up to the 2021-22 season, but ultimately missed out on a roster spot and joined the team's G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron, for 14 games.
