Herbert Hill leaves the NBA for France 

Post#1 » by HtownPA » Fri Jul 25, 2008 11:18 pm

Herbert Hill, born in in Ulm, Germany, has left the NBA to take an offer from Le Mans in France.

Herbert Hill was the 55th draft pick in last year's draft.

He had a injury riddled season and was unable to contribute the Philadelphia 76ers.

Le Mans fills out froncourt with Herbert Hill
Le Mans Sarthe Basket has finalized its center rotation with the signing of center Herbert Hill, who will play in Europe for the first time. Hill (209, 23) spent last season with Philadelphia in the NBA, but did not see any action after suffering a knee injury in October. He underwent two knee surgeries as a result of the injury. Hill shined as a senior at Providence College, leading the Big East Conference in scoring with 19.9 points per game. He was named All-Big East First Team and Big East Most Improved Player that season. Hill joins Pape Badiane and Alain Koffi to form a very strong pivot trio for Le Mans.

Good, I heard they are more lenient about DWI's also.

If I was named Herbert I'd definitely go by my middle name.
