Larry Hughes

What strikes me about Larry Hughes is the journey from one season at Saint Louis to the eighth pick in the 1998 draft. That's a quick leap, and earning USBWA National Freshman of the Year tells me his talent was obvious from the start. Playing for eight different teams across a 14-year NBA career is a stat I find telling too. It can read as restlessness, but to me it speaks to durability and value. At 196 cm he had the size for a versatile guard, and surviving 14 seasons through that many roster changes is a kind of resilience I respect more than any single highlight.
