Basketball’s transfer portal season has begun, and LSU guard [autotag]Justice Hill[/autotag] plans to enter it, per reports.
Hill was one of a few Murray State transfers that followed coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] to LSU. Hill was a standout at MSU, earning all-conference honors and helping lead the Racers to a 30+ win season.
He appeared in 30 games and started 17 for the Tigers this season. In January, Hill stepped away from the team for a short period due to personal reasons.
He averaged just 3.9 points per game in conference play. There were some offensive struggles with Hill’s shooting percentage being a career low.
Despite the inconsistency, Hill still brought value considering the situation. McMahon’s Murray State transfers took a chance transferring to LSU. McMahon needed it with the situation he was taking over.

LSU could have used Hill returning, especially with the inexperience at the guard spot, but it was clear this would be another offseason of change for LSU. With two years of eligibility left, Hill will explore his options.
