Once inked by Courtside, Hill waited while the agency looked for potentially interested parties around the Netherlands.
"I'm glad it's been such a fluid process," Hill said. "Once I signed the player-agent contract, that gave the agency the ability to shop the market, and this team in Rotterdam popped up pretty quickly. The only effort I had to put out was marketing myself to the agency."
League rules allow three imported players to each club, and Rotterdam carries a Yugoslav and an alumnus of the Atlantic-10 conference's Dayton.
Hill follows former teammate Kyle Snowden '97, who has played professional ball in Luxembourg.
"I've been talking with Kyle over e-mail all year, and he's had nothing but positives to say about it," Hill said. "He felt it really rounded out his personality."
Hill had to choose between professional basketball and a waiting job in the New York office of Goldman, Sachs, where he had interned for the past two summers.
"The guys in New York have been very supportive, and they're extremely excited for me," Hill said. "I'm planning to play the one year, then evaluate it. It'll probably be a one or two-year thing, before I have to go back to the real world."
This imminent signing marks another chapter in a highlight-heavy career, which began at basketball powerhouse DeMatha High School and continued in the rebuilding of a competitive program at Harvard.
