Whichever team is smart enough to take him at the end of the first is going to get an absolute steal. There’s a chance Eli is getting bench minutes on a playoff team year one if the cards fall right.
Guy’s a walking bucket.
Im thinkin eli will stick in the league. We really lucked out grabbing him from the gutters of ECU. Remember when people didnt like taking a flyer on him
Would be a good spot to land in. Not sure Wiseman makes it to 8 though.
Eli will make them great again...ha! But seriously we were lucky to have him. Wish we got another year. Kid is special!Hey it's still the NBA even if it's the Knicks
Agree. Hes so smooth too. His shooting ability will translate well and his game is suited for the NBA. I think he has a good professional career. Hope he lands in a good place.It makes too much sense -- in a relatively lackluster draft, a guy with the size, athleticism, 3-D skill set, outside shooting, and versatility Hughes has shifting into the first round should come as no surprise.
He has a much better chance to stick long term than say, Malachi Richardson.
1st round would be great for him. But my condolences if it happens lol.Hey it's still the NBA even if it's the Knicks
Interesting compare and contrast. One was probably right to strike while the iron was hot while the other is an example of how some players benefit from developing their game in college for a while.It makes too much sense -- in a relatively lackluster draft, a guy with the size, athleticism, 3-D skill set, outside shooting, and versatility Hughes has shifting into the first round should come as no surprise.

Agree on both counts period and I think for malachi, getting that sure thing it was an important factor period but I think uses much better position from a skill set standpoint to excel and have a longer career.Interesting compare and contrast.
