The NBA Draft for the scond consecutive year went two rounds without hearing the name of one Wisconsin Badger, but just like Marcus Landry from last year that doesn't mean former Badgers like Trevon Hughes won't have a shot.
Hughes has been invited to the Houston Rocket's mini-camp. Once there Hughes will have the opportunity to play himself onto the teams summer league squad. That will be the next step for Hughes to have a chance at making the roster for opening night.
While there are some in the basketball community that say Hughes could play in the association. There are still many that say he needs work to be at NBA level. Hughes lacks the size that many want out of a shooting guard, and at times lacks the decision making skills that a point guard is requied to have.
Over the past four years at Wisconsin Trevon Hughes has dazzled and led the Badgers to victory. On other occasions Hughes left many Badger fans with the "what was he thinking?" look. But one thing remains certain in professional sports...if you have talent they will give you a shot.
Hughes obviously has the athletic talent to play at any level, but the decision making is ultimately his demise. As a point guard Hughes will be expected to make "smart" plays, and avoid errors in judgement.
One thing is for sure when it comes to Trevon Hughes. He can take over a game when it means the most (just watch tape of the game at Northwestern) and he is a team leader. Whether or not that will transfer over to the NBA remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure...he's got a shot.
