Alfredrick Hughes (born July 19, 1962) is an American former professional basketball player who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round (14th pick overall) in the 1985 NBA draft. He played college basketball for the Loyola Ramblers.

Loyola career

[edit]

After graduating from Chicago's Robeson High School, Hughes played college basketball at Loyola Chicago, where the 6'5" (1.96 m) shooting guard averaged 17.0 points per game as a freshman, 25.7 as a sophomore, 27.6 as a junior, and 26.3 as a senior.[1] Hughes is Loyola's all-time leading scorer with 2,914 points, ranking ninth on the NCAA career scoring list. Hughes also ended his college career as the all-time scoring leader in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, now known as the Horizon League, holding this record until Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis—who had the benefit of a fifth year of athletic eligibility due to COVID-19 disruptions—broke it in December 2022.[2] He also holds the school record for most points scored in a game with 47 against Detroit (now Detroit Mercy) on February 5, 1985. Hughes was an All-American in 1985 and was a three-time Midwestern Collegiate Conference Player of the Year. His #21 is retired at Loyola.[3]

NBA career

[edit]

Hughes played in only one NBA season. He played for the Spurs during the 1985–86 NBA season, appearing in 68 games and averaging 5.2 ppg.
