As he embarks on his fourth year at Wisconsin, redshirt junior Jordan Hill figures to be part of the Badgers' backcourt depth in 2016-17. A combo guard, Hill appeared in 30 games last season, including one start, and saw his playing time and production skyrocket under Greg Gard. Over the final 23 games of the season, Hill averaged 19.1 minutes and 3.8 ppg while shooting 34.7 percent from 3-point range. An under-recruited prep who attended Exeter Academy (N.H.) after high school, Hill caught the attention of the UW coaches with his hard-working pedigree and tenacity on defense.
