Jeremiah Hill: From Division II to BCL Star
17 Feb
Summary
- Jeremiah Hill earned BCL Player of the Week with 25 points.
- A coach joked selling the Chalon cathedral could fund Hill.
- Hill represents Cameroon in international basketball tournaments.
Chalon's point guard, Jeremiah Hill, has become a pivotal player in the Basketball Champions League this season. His recent performance against Joventut, where he scored 25 points and provided six assists, earned him the BCL Player of the Week award.
Hill's journey to Chalon is notable; he previously played in NCAA Division II, the ABA League, and the G League in the United States before moving to Europe. He has played for clubs in Kazakhstan, Russia, France, and Spain.
Such is Hill's value to Chalon that coach Elric Delord jokingly suggested the club might need to sell the Saint-Vincent de Chalon cathedral to afford him. This comment even led to the cathedral being listed for sale online.
Hill also holds Cameroonian citizenship and has been a key player for their national team. He participated in the Olympic Qualification tournament for the 2024 Paris Games and the 2025 AfroBasket, where Cameroon achieved a fourth-place finish.
