The possibility of former Syracuse basketball stars Elijah Hughes and Oshae Brissett reuniting in the pros is intriguing.

Even with all the uncertainty over the current NBA season, as well as the association’s combine and its draft, former Syracuse basketball stud Elijah Hughes is getting a lot of high praise from some analysts and writers.

CBS Sports’ Kyle Boone on Tuesday unveiled the seventh version of his 2020 NBA mock draft, and Hughes finds himself in the first round. The 6-foot-6 small forward, who led the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring during the 2019-20 campaign, is listed by Boone as having an overall prospect rank of No.
