St. Louisans liked Larry Hughes' basketball skills when the St. Louis native was a SLU Billiken freshman. What does New York Posst and NBC commentator Peter Vescey say about Larry Hughes?

Writes Vescey (in the New York Post):
"When's the last time you saw a rookie (20 years old, no less) with the kind of hops who can shoot as well as Larry Hughes?

In addition, the 6-5 guard isn't mesmerized by the 3-point line like so many other NBA players; he possesses a mature mid-range game. The way he can soar and score, who's going to stop him when he stops and pops from 15-to-18?

Go to sleep on it, Hughes will be an all-star within three years."
