1) Comparing Nichols and Southerland to Hughes from a shooting standpoint is crazy. Nichols was widely recognized as the best shooting forward in the his SR class. I was at ABCD his last season there and he led the camp in 3 pointers made and had the 3rd highest percentage. He shot LIGHTS OUT all week. The kid came in as a great shooter but lacked the confidence to play at this level and it took him awhile to develop that enough to be effective.

Southerland was also very good 3 point shooter in high school.

Hughes is waaaay far behind both of your examples. Maybe he could develop but I think it's wishful thinking.

2) Comparing a kid at ECU's freshman stats to a kid at Duke's freshman stats is meaningless. I'm sure if Gbinijie was at ECU as a freshman he would have obliterated Hughes' meager stats of 8 ppg and 2 rpg with terrible shooting percentages. We're talking about playing against AAC here, not ACC. Huge difference in the caliber of play.
