Hughes is an athletic guard with a strong build from Crown Point High School. He was consistently productive for a very good Progeny UAA 15u team over the weekend at the Havoc in the Heartland. The 6’1″ playmaker scored in double figures in every game while helping rebound from the perimeter and dishing out several assists across their four games. His well-rounded skill set makes him a versatile backcourt piece that you can plug-and-play with anyone around him.

Crown Point High School is sufficiently loaded with talent right now. From a pair of Division I commits in the senior class all of the way down to their incoming freshman, they have one of the deepest pools of talent in the state right now. Hughes was a new name that jumped onto our radar at the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase. The 5’10” guard did a little bit of everything throughout the day. He shot it well from beyond the arc, looked poised and comfortable in the mid-range, and had enough burst to get downhill and finish around the basket. Definitely one to watch for down the road for the Bulldogs.

One of many young prospects coming up through the program at Crown Point High School, Hughes earned top performer honors at the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase. The 5’10” guard did a little bit of everything for Team 2. He hit mid-range jump shots, finished straight line drives to the basket, and even mixed it up on the offensive glass with a couple of putbacks. Hughes’ ability to score in such a variety of ways was very impressive.

Hughes, a 5’10” point guard, is one that we look forward to evaluating to see where he stacks up both against his Crown Point peers but also his peers from around the state. The Freshman Showcase is always a great way to get an early read on where prospects stack up on a statewide basis.
