Elijah Hughes: Bucks

[721Comstock]

Certainly Wes Johnson JR year is top 10. Yes the team was miles better than anything recent, but hard to find a more "well rounded" season.

In no particular order:

Dave Bing any season.
Senior DC.
Junior Billy.
Senior J-Dub.
Senior Rony.
Junior Pearl
Senior Silent G.
Junior Eli.
Rautins the Elder.
Sherm (pick a year Soph-Sr.)
Melo
Hak

Wanna say Ryan Blackwell and/or Todd Burgan, both underrated all-around hoopsters.


Anybody got any others?
Sure I’ve missed a few.

Melo and Wallace are the top 2 I’ve seen. Billy Owens has to be right there too. I thought Gbinije’s senior year was phenomenal too. Flynn’s soph. year was pretty great too but not sure about top 10...Sherm probably had 3 seasons just as good or better. Just a few that stand out off the top of my head.

rakeem's senior year

 

[moqui]

before my time, but going by the history
rudy hackett's senior year
louie & bouie both senior year

 

[GucciCuse]

Lawrence? Averaged 19 points 5 boards 2.5 assists for career. Has to have one season to pick from.

 

[Trueblue25]

rakeem's senior year

One of the unmentioned travesties of the probation

Post I replied to mentioned Wes.
So I was adding to that.

 

[OrangeDW]

Lawrence? Averaged 19 points 5 boards 2.5 assists for career. Has to have one season to pick from.

He could be the kind of guy who has like 4 top 50 at worst seasons, but none in the top 10.

Though his junior year would have to be his best. Averaged 21 ppg on a really good sweet 16 team.

not top ten, but ricky jackson's terrific senior season gets forgotten: big east defensive poy, last orangeman to average a double double for an entire season. only others to do that in the boeheim era are dc (3 times), billy & carmelo

Too bad Ricky the ruler wasn't 6-11/7-0 instead of 6-9 or might have been a spot in the league for him. He and scoop were such a great haul. I miss that train of Philly players.

3) Douglas Sr.
4) Douglas Jr.
5) Douglas So.

Good stuff- it's a hard list for sure. One thing about Hughes is how much he had to shoulder himself much like Christmas in his Sr year.

 

[moqui]

it doesn't make sense just going by the numbers, but andy's senior season is one i'll always remember as a standard for guard play in jb's system

I agree. Fantastic all-around year, on O and D.
But - what's really odd is, his assist/TO ratio that year was... just ok.
4.9 / 2.8 = 1.75/1 A/TO ratio

He made a BUNCH of amazing passes, for sure.
He also tried for a BUNCH more amazing passes, that got stolen or went thru hands or out of bounds.

I have a great fondness for that entire team, and season.
Except for AO's knee, and losing to FFF'n Butler.

Interesting. No G-mac His teams won a national title and two Big East tournaments. And I heard something about us not winning 10 games without him.

Which of his seasons would you add to the list?

 

[dasher]

I didn't say I would. Just that for a guy that had that much success for us, he doesn't make the list.

there is a word for a player like that

Oni/Forrest getting in before Eli tonight. Harrison being in is expected of course.

 

[Orangezoo]

9 pts 1 reb in 8 mins tonight.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Eli had a quality preseason. Being able to score is huge!!! Who cares if its garbage time.

 

[Cusesky8214]

 

[Orangezoo]

It is impressive when you consider there was no summer league. This was draft to a short camp to pre-season games. To some degree that is going to benefit the veteran guys but Eli is a pro in many ways. Looking forward to seeing him for many years in the league.
