Former Syracuse basketball star Elijah Hughes will hear his named called at the upcoming NBA Draft. He deserves all the success that’s coming to him.
Elijah Hughes, the former Syracuse basketball sensation who in 2019-20 put forth one of the finest individual seasons for the Orange program in recent memory, is a humble yet determined young man.
He’s candid, a tremendous teammate and, admirably, didn’t focus on the awards bestowed upon him over this past year. Hughes’ appreciation for the Syracuse fan base is clear, and, despite only suiting up on the Hill for two official campaigns, he will go down as one of my favorite guys in ‘Cuse history.
