Hughes was awesome last year at the Freshman Showcase, and I was excited to see how his game has developed. He didn’t disappoint. You never quite know what you’re going to get when a small-school player comes into a showcase event like this against larger-school players, and he didn’t back down at all, looking every bit the big-school player himself. A rangy wing who can do everything on the offensive end, he’s a confident shooter off the catch, a skilled creator off the dribble, and a tough finisher at the rim. His length is also a major asset on the defensive end, getting into passing lanes and contesting shots.
