Bibby quote - "Larry Hughes II is a tremendous addition to our program. He's a complete basketball player who really knows how to play the game. What stands out immediately is how smooth he is on the court - the game comes naturally to him. He's a 3-level scorer who can impact a game in a variety of ways, but what I really appreciate is his high IQ and understanding of how to make the right play. We love the way he competes, the way he shares the ball, and the way he elevates the players around him."
