I'm in wait-and-see mode on Hughes at the 3. He's small for the position and I'm not sure about his rebounding against ACC competition, his ability to score inside or his range to stretch the floor. I'd like to hear more about what he did in practice, especially since he was a 27% shooter at ECU. Word is his shot's good, and he's had a year of coaching. Bras will be raw, but I'm sorry 6'9 and a high-jumper - who also shot 50% in EYBL - I just can't dismiss him yet in favor of a 6-6 guard as a backup forward until I see what Bas can do in the first few games. If he picks up the zone - a big if - I could see him joining the forward bench rotation and backing up MD.
Hughes is built like CJ Fair, only about 1" shorter.
Stevie Thompson was small for the SF position.
Andy Rautins was small for the SF position.
Hughes is NOT small for a college SF.
