NBA ROLE: (RAW) SCORING WING
Elijah Hughes: tall wing w/ a nice outside game; pretty solid scorer from multiple levels - Hughes can beat his man off the dribble, does work from downtown w/ a variety of different shots, including step backs & stationary treys; deep range, can get hot from deep after a couple fall; pretty creative finisher, ability to draw fouls rises his stock; game seems like a better fit for the NBA - more space, rhythm scorer?; plus defender in the league? could spend a lot of time guarding 1-3; needs to avoid being pigeonholed as a volume shooter, must prioritize good looks when called upon; high usage player at ‘Cuse, must adjust to sporadic PT before full-time minutes; Hughes’s scoring could earn him a rotation spot in Portland
