Bucks resign Hill

The Milwaukee Bucks resigned freeagent guard George Hill, who was acquired from Cleveland in December in a fiveplayer, threeteam trade, to a threeyear deal.

Hill, 33, averaged 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 47 games with the Bucks last season. He also played in all 15 of Milwaukee’s playoff games, averaging 11.5 points on 53.4% shooting in just more than 26 minutes per game.

The Los Angeles Clippers signed draft picks and former Florida State teammates Mfiondu Kabengele and Terance Mann to undisclosed deals. Kabengele, a 6foot10 forward, was selected 27th overall in last month’s draft. Mann, a 66 guard, was picked 48th overall.

College basketball: Mickey McConnell, the 201011 WCC Player of the Year, is returning to St. Mary’s as an assistant coach on Randy Bennett’s staff. McConnell, a guard, has played professionally, mainly in Europe, for the past eight years.

McConnell hit two signature shots in his career with the Gaels: a 3pointer off the glass that put St. Mary’s ahead to stay in its 7568 NCAA Tournament win over Villanova in 2010 and an offbalance jumper in the final seconds to beat Gonzaga 7371 in Spokane a year later.

McConnell replaces Danny Yoshikawa, who’s leaving Moraga to become the head coach of West Valley College.
