NBA Scout Ryan Blake calls in to talk about Syracuse forward Elijah Hughes’ draft chances with Wes Cheng on The Juice on the Cuse podcast hosted by SNY.tv. TJO editor in chief Brad Bierman then calls in to chat about the potential delay of the 2020 football season.

Here are the highlights from the show:

Wesley Cheng: What NBA skills does Elijah Hughes possess?

Ryan Blake: He’s versatile. He’s big swing or guard that can play and defend multiple positions. Someone that can shoot the outside shot and pass. He’s a good athlete. He was a good shot blocker for his size. When you have someone that size that can make an impact on both ends of the floor, he’s going to be a viable prospect to consider in the NBA Draft.
