Leading scorer in the ACC. Dropped 27 on UNC in his last game.

And here's the list of leading scorers in ACC by year. How many of them are still in this league right now? The guy is basically a Clarkson insurance who has the potential to be a bench scorer, nothing more. He does nothing to address our current deficiency on the wings

You weren't getting a guy that would address our major needs in the second round of a crappy draft. You are going to get depth. Hopefully somebody that will stick in the League.Men's Atlantic Coast Conference Yearly Leaders and Records for Points | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

A 6'6 Trey Burke is a pretty good player. . .

6'6 with 6'9 wingspan Trey Burke in second round is a steal.
I don't know much about him but he seems to know how to play on offense, defense will be a transition.

We need 3D wings and this year's draft is loaded with them...

That's what Elijah is, no? He's not a starting lockdown defender but his offense will translate. He gets a block a game, so he isn't allergic to defending. . .
His defense is likely an upgrade to Clarkson.

I don't hate this pick in the second round. I think they've done a good job moving pieces around to improve our 5 position. We now have 48 minutes of defense at least. Hughes could stick. Picked up another draft pick in the deal and may have more latitude to resign Clarkson. Decent haul.

Hughes is a crafty finisher in the lane but still had major problems scoring inside against long, athletic defenders.
He’s certainly a good athlete, but not a special athlete at the next level.
Sounds familiar folks?
This guy won't help us with our problem. if anything he will become part of the problem.
The way this FO overlook physical talents, we are simply inviting teams to size up on us, be physical with us, and they knew we have no answer because we have players that are small and play small. Teams like the Lakers will continue to have their field day with us for years to come.
Okay, this is looking better. Hughes can play.

He sounds better than Oni.
He looks like a decent player until you get him in the NBA and realize he's just not that good and doesn't play defense. I'm probably doing Trey a disservice here because I don't see Hughes having the type of games that Trey had.
You notice how Hughes celebrates after every basket? Hope I'm wrong but I'm not excited.

struggling against size and strength is like the 99% killer for those "smooth" and "skilled" NCAA scoring legends
