About GJ

What's your biggest strength as a player, and how does it show up in games?

My biggest strength is my ability to create off the bounce and make plays for myself and my teammates. I’m an explosive guard who can get downhill, attack gaps, score at all three levels, and create open shots for others. I also take pride in pressuring the ball defensively and competing on every possession.

What are you working to improve right now?

I’m continuing to get stronger and more physical as I prepare for college basketball. I’ve added about 10 pounds of muscle, and I want to keep developing my strength and athleticism while maintaining my quickness, explosiveness and ability to play at a high level.

What are you looking for in a college program?

I’m looking for a college program where I can continue to develop as a player and person, compete at a high level, and be part of a winning culture. I want to be around coaches who believe in developing their players, teammates who push each other, and a program that values hard work, accountability and relationships. I’m looking for the right fit where I can contribute, earn opportunities and con

Outside of your sport, what should coaches know about you?

Outside of basketball, I’m a family-oriented person who values relationships, hard work and staying grounded. I take pride in being a good teammate and someone people can depend on. I’m also focused on my education and continuing to grow as a person. I understand that college is about more than basketball, and I want to represent my family, my school and my future program the right way.

What do you want to study, and what career interests you?

I’m interested in studying business, entrepreneurship and sports management. I’m especially interested in learning how businesses are built and how I can create opportunities for myself and others. I’m still exploring my specific career path, but I know I want to build something meaningful, continue learning and use the skills I develop in college long after my playing career is over.

GJ Hill | 6’0 G | 2027

Hill finished with 17 points and rebounded exceptionally well for a guard. It works out in O’Dowd’s favor when he secures the rebound, the he’s able to immediately initiate the break and they get to play fast which is one of their strengths.

Hill is a blur in transition and an excellent finisher. He closed out the fourth quarter against Liberty with 10 points and previously dropped 20 of his 22 points against Granada. His electric first step consistently puts defenders in recovery mode and at his mercy.

GJ Hill | 6’0 G | 2027

GJ Hill once again showed why he’s one of the most natural scorers in his class. He finished with 16 points, but the bigger takeaway was how he controlled the game. Alongside Erick Thome Erick Thome 5'9" | PG Bishop O'Dowd | 2026 State CA-N , Hill calmly broke Sacramento’s high-energy press, keeping the offense organized and avoiding turnovers.

Hill played a balanced, composed game. His scoring came within the flow, with eight points in each half, never forcing shots or speeding himself up. He picked his spots, managed pace, and made winning decisions, showing growth as both a scorer and a floor general.

GJ Hill set the tone early, tossing an alley-oop to Naas Griffin on the very first play of the game and connecting on another lob to Kaiden Gibbs Kaiden Gibbs Kaiden Gibbs 6'3" | SF Bishop O'Dowd | 2026 State CA-N later in the first quarter. His feel and confidence in transition were on full display.

Hill thrives in the open floor, whether he’s pushing the pace to score it himself or setting up teammates for easy finishes. He also showed his full scoring repertoire — pulling up with rhythm and attacking the rim with purpose. Hill is a dynamic 2027 guard who brings pace, playmaking ability, and creativity. He’s a joy to watch play the game

GJ Hill-Thomas GJ Hill-Thomas GJ Hill-Thomas 6'1" | PG/SG Bishop O'Dowd | 2027 State CA-N | 5’10” G | Bishop O’Dowd

GJ Hill isn’t just a combo guard—he’s a problem for defenders. The 5’10” lead guard out of Bishop O’Dowd brings big-time scoring ability and continues to make waves on the EYBL circuit.

Hill shot an impressive 39% from three in EYBL play, proving he can stretch the floor and knock down shots with consistency. GJ is shifty, tough, and plays with a chip on his shoulder. As he continues to develop, GJ will be asked to run a team and control pace, something he’s fully capable of doing.

Whether he’s scoring in bunches or picking apart defenses, GJ Hill-Thomas GJ Hill-Thomas GJ Hill-Thomas 6'1" | PG/SG Bishop O'Dowd | 2027 State CA-N is a name you’ll want to keep on your radar

His overall guard play, and productivity are trending up. His 3-point shooting is improved, he’s been aggressive attacking the basket, beating defenders off the dribble, unafraid of contact, and long arm shot blockers bearing down on him in transition. He’s making progress as a point guard, ball movement, penetrating the paint for kick outs, and using good lift on the paint jumper.

GJ Hill is a dynamic 5’9″ guard whose deceptive handle and explosive finishing ability make him a serious problem for defenders, especially those who underestimate his bounce.

Hill helps continue that great conversation of “bring the small guards back.” Despite standing at 5’9/5’10”, he has a bag full of herky-jerky moves that naturally flow right into his shooting pocket. Off that unpredictable rhythm, he can hesitate and explode into a push dribble, blowing past defenders with ease. Opponents should think twice before attempting a casual chase-down block on Hill. He has a knack for rising up for an initial layup and then flipping his hand over the rim, often leaving defenders on the wrong end of a highlight. Hill is right in line to carry on the great point guard tradition at Bishop O’Dowd

A good ball handling guard with some speed, he sees the court, pushing, passing up, and around the perimeter. He can be aggressive looking for his shot opportunities, mid-range jumpers, he can hit the open 3ptr. He handles ball pressure, splits defenders. He’s shown he’ll attack the basket getting his shot up high off the glass over shot blockers.
