While I don’t necessarily disagree, I don’t think Hughes is going to be as generational as the McDavids/Matthews/MacKinnon etc.
He’s a small forward with skill, it may pan out but honestly I think at this point you’d hope he can become a Monahan speed being his upside, but a few injuries already.
I’m no professional scout but in what I’ve viewed he doesn’t stand out as a for sure #1 runaway pick.
