ACC scoring star with NBA-sized versatility
Elijah Hughes was a high-usage, two-way wing for Syracuse who broke out as a primary scorer, leading the ACC in scoring in the 2019-20 season at 19.0 points per game while also contributing 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. He stands out for his shot-making versatility, size on the wing, and ability to create offense without needing a perfect setup, which makes him attractive to teams that want a scorer who can also handle some playmaking. The main question is consistency at the next level, but his production and all-around profile show why he drew NBA attention.
