Totino-Grace’s Malachi Hill is ready to step out of the shadow of his athletic siblings who played basketball at the college and pro levels before him.

The youngest of seven children who created one of the most successful basketball families in Minnesota, Hill feels like his time in the spotlight is coming.

“I’ve just soaked in the experience from all of them,” Hill said. “We all have that mentality and killer instinct.”

After starting at point guard for one of the state’s top teams last season, the 5-11 sophomore is showcasing even more confidence and physical maturity to match the natural intensity he brings to the court.
