Syracuse Basketball: Elijah Hughes’ NBA Draft stock soaring towards 1st round

Despite the fact no games are being played, no private workouts, and likely no NBA Combine this offseason, former Syracuse basketball stud Elijah Hughes’ NBA Draft stock is soaring.

During the season, the projections for him hovered around the middle of the second round.

Although in early April it appears that Hughes has entered the first-round conversation. In the latest mock draft from the folks over at NBA Draft Net, Elijah is the 31st overall pick to the Dallas Mavericks.

Since 1989, the NBA Draft has been two rounds featuring 60 players selected.
