Elijah Hughes, get on board!

[Handlogten's Heros]

Boler is the Ayton of announcers... great physical talent but no awareness for what is going on but will fall into a few good calls here and there.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

When Tucker was taking those long 3's last season it felt that it comes from being too excited and forcing things, with Hughes it feels that he is really capable of hitting those.

Tucker shot every 3 super reluctantly and they looked bad.

Hughes looks like he expects his shots to go in.

And while Tucker could get past his guy he drove without a plan and not nearly the finisher Hughes is... Hughes makes it look easy... like he is not trying all that hard. It all seems really natural.

 

[Jazzmix]

Half the time he has the wrong guy anyway so it doesn't matter too much. Hughes is Ellijah and he keeps saying Eliza.

I know, I heard it right away too and thought it to be weird.

 

[candrew]

so the big question is can Hughes be efficient for 8-12 minutes a game and his first shot not be a 28 foot three pointer fading to this right.

I am not a native speaker so Boler always makes me question my English pronounciation skills.

Haha, post of the day!

Tucker had 1 thing in mind: Dunk on someone

Really hard to be a NBA player that way when you're 6'3

He was the steal of the draft and is already leaps and bounds better than Hood. He also has played more games.

He may turnout to be the steal of the draft indeed. Donovan hasn't turned it up to 11 yet - I don't expect to see that until we meet Portland. That being said EliJah has looked like the best one-on-one player on the team. Doesn't look like he's going to have trouble scoring at all.

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

His build reminds me of Kerry Kittles who was slight, long, and a slasher.

His game reminds me of Rashard Lewis minus the goofie looking shot.

Lets dream big: prime joe johnson

 

[NUMBERICA]

I would be very pleased if he's good. It's fun to dream big for fun, but he looks like a shorter CJ Miles with a worse shot but a more balanced game.

His comfort level on the floor is very encouraging since it allows the obvious smoothness of his game to translate.

 

[Carbon13]

I dont mean to get ahead of myself but im thinking 7 time all star

 

[Harambe]

If we comping him to Jazz players, I think CJ Miles is closer.

Hood is a really unique player, hard to comp anyone to him.

He looks CJ's size. He has CJ's type of smooth athleticism

Treason it is.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

I will get on when he becomes more consistent. We don't need an inefficient ball chucker

Looking forward to Eliza's first matchup with Za Morant this season.

We will be throwing skip passes and hammering down jumpers.... FRY SAUCE!

After watching his highlights after we drafted him, I thought their jumpers looked really similar.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Hughes has a really good shooting stroke- he’ll be fine with the shooting. The surprise has been how comfortable he looks when he puts it on the floor either finishing a scoring chance or finding people. Also how comfortable and effective he is finishing around the rim.

He good.
