Former Division II Stars and Lakeland Magic Teammates Proving Hard Work, Resilience Leads to Great Opportunities

LAS VEGAS - Jeremiah Hill and John Petrucelli were two of the G League’s best 3-point shooters in 2018-19 while playing for the Lakeland Magic.

Petrucelli, a 6-foot-4 guard, shot 44.2 percent from beyond the arc, tied for fifth best in the league with Lakeland teammate B.J. Johnson among players who attempted at least 100 threes.

The 6-foot-2 Hill, meanwhile, made 56 triples coming off the bench, the 15th most among all reserves.

What makes Petrucelli, 26, and Hill, 23, so unique compared to some of the other league’s top outside shooters is that neither of them ever had the opportunity to showcase their talents on college basketball’s biggest stages.
