Kyle Eric Hill (born April 7, 1979 in Chicago, Illinois, USA) is a professional basketball player who was picked by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2001 NBA Draft with the 44th overall draft pick. Hill's NBA rights were then traded by the Mavericks shortly after the draft to the Houston Rockets.

Pro career

After being selected in the NBA draft, Hill immediately went to Europe and signed with the French team Asvel, where he played in the Euroleague with Nikola Vujčić, where he averaged 13.4 points per game and won the French Cup.

Hill moved to Pau-Orthez next, where he recorded 9.5 points per game in 25 minutes per game. He then played briefly with AEK Athens, and then with Lauretana Biella in Italy during the 2003-2004 season. He followed that with an excellent season at Zadar.

After Zadar, he moved to Snaidero Udine, where he played well and averaged more than 15 points per game during the 2005-2006 season. Soon after that he moved to the Spanish team CB Girona, but an injury that he suffered to his Achilles tendon prevented him from playing much. During the 2007-08 season, Hill played five games with KK Bosna in Sarajevo [ [http://www.ulebcup.com/ulebcup/home/news/i/14801/448/item ULEBCup.com Hill article.] ] and he then returned to Udine. He finished the season playing with Snaidero Udine, where he formed one half of the same dynamic duo along with Jerome Allen for the team, and was once again coached by Cesare Pancotto, just like in the 2005-06 season.
