He forced multiple turnovers not by gambling, but through strategic containment—pressuring opponents into dead dribbles or poor decisions that led directly to takeaways for his teammates. His ability to shrink space and guide handlers into traps or low-percentage areas showed a high-level understanding of defensive angles and leverage. Whether it was funneling a drive baseline or forcing a pickup with active hands, Hilliard proved to be a premier on-ball defender.

Read EvaluationDevontae Cobb | Prep Hoops Scout
Crafty and highly skilled lead guard with elite-level shiftiness and unpredictable burst. Hilliard’s handle was reactive and tight, stringing together advanced combos without telegraphing his next move. He seamlessly blended hesitations, twitchy crossovers, hang dribbles, and speed changes to keep defenders guessing. He’s extremely creative, using pass-fakes while on the move that left defenders completely frozen, setting up an easy finish. His ability to break defenders down and manipulate space was high-level.
