An excellent rim runner who paces his opportunities out of ball screens well, Hughes looks to find success in the paint yet again. An efficient finisher around the basket, he only needs a sliver of space to work with to contribute layups. Particularly in June and recent high school showcases, Hughes has gotten more comfortable setting up scorers from kickout passes. His role defensively will be crucial to Fossil Ridge’s success, although him and Donovan Banek Donovan Banek 6'6" | PF/SF Fossil Ridge | 2025 State CO show all the signs of a competitive pair of interior defenders. Hughes put up 5.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, solidifying his role down low.
