Hughes has been a major bust so far and I don't see that changing.
I had high hopes when GS got him, but he left me shaking my head nearly every game. Horribly inconsistent outside shot, lack of intensity, and injury-prone.
I'll be surprised if he's still with Wash. at the end of the season. I expect Rip to step it up big time this year (will someone show that kid how to lift weights) and the rest of the minutes will go to Juan Dixon.
sure, everyone questions his size (Rip is his weight training buddy) but dude has mad heart. If anyone read that ESPN Mag article on Dixon around tournament time, you gotta believe in him. (him in the next room while his parents were shooting up, both his parents dying from AIDS, him sneaking into the Maryland gym the night before games and just chillin on the floor till 3AM)
when larry hughes goes up against this guy in practice, he'll wish he was still in school.
Can you picture Hughes beating out Dixon to a single loose ball? Just once???
nope, MJ is gonna make Hughes grab his ankles and send him home crying.
I can see it now: Larry Hughes, 2002-2003 NBDL MVP
