Strengths: Hughes was a McDonald’s All-American prospect as a Point guard out of high school. He stayed at home and attended Saint Louis. There he developed a great defensive game, and that is his strength. He averaged over 2 steals a game in college and could easily do that in the pros. He also has solid handles and could possibly play some point if needed.
Weaknesses: While he did average over 20 ppg in college, he does not have that killer scorer’s instinct. He might be able to score some, but if a team is looking for him to be their top scorer, they will be disappointed.
Scout's Take: Young defenders are always needed. He will have a place in this league because of his defense. He is young enough that he could develop into starter material, or he could be a great 6th man and backup both guard spots. I wouldn’t be surprised if he switched over and played the point in the pros, but with many solid point guards already, he should stay at the 2 guard.
Ratings: Larry Hughes SG 6'5'' 184 19 B- C C+ B C A
