2020 Draft Profile - Elijah Hughes

Elijah Hughes Stats

Jeremy Woo - Sept. 16th: "He’s not elite in any one area, and it’s tricky to assess him defensively in Syracuse’s zone, but Hughes is a solid athlete and finds ways to impact the game in beyond scoring. He’s a streaky shooter and isn’t big for his position, but in a more complementary role, he could feasibly be a bench piece somewhere."

NBA Draft Room - July 6th: "Elijah Hughes has been flying a bit under the radar all season but he’s gaining momentum as a draft prospect and projects in the 25-45 range. He’s a scoring guard with big shot making ability and really nice size for position."

HashTag Basketball - July 1st: "Even though Hughes struggled to show much consistency shooting off the dribble, he did prove to be a capable off-ball scorer, a role he looked much more comfortable in. His catch-and-shoot numbers are much more efficient than off the dribble, and he is a great cutter."

NBA Draft Room - May 26th: "A scoring guard with nice size. Shoots the ball well and should be able to score at the next level."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - May 26th: "The more teams learn about Elijah Hughes the more they like. He soaked up a ton of defensive attention last season and yet still averaged 19 points on a fairly efficient volume for Syracuse, averaging 34.1% from the 3-point line on 228 attempts."

Jeremy Woo - SI - May 6th: "Hughes supplies just enough scoring, playmaking and shooting on the wing to think there’s an outside chance he can crack a roster next season, and he’s been tasked with some initiation duties at Syracuse and handled them well. He’s not elite in any one area, and it’s hard to assess him defensively in their zone, but Hughes is a solid athlete and finds ways to impact the game in addition to his scoring usage."
