Could Malcolm Hill's on-court role with the Illini be changing this season? John Groce recently informed CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein that the senior forward will be used more extensively on the perimeter this Winter. That's an outstanding development because, from my point of view, Hill has been playing out of position for his entire Illinois career.
John Groce told @CBSSports that Illinois hopes to use Malcolm Hill more extensively on the perimeter next season.

Illinois' poor roster composition in recent years has forced Hill into a sort of hybrid guard/forward role on offense.
