06-07 Season Mixed Results Change in Style of Play


Hughes appeared in 70 games (68 starts) during the 2006-07 NBA season. He connected on 74 3pt field goals the second best season total of his career. He also played in 2,596 minutes for the season( a career best), and decreased his turnover per game average from 3.3 to 2.3.

However, hughes would only connect on 5.4/13.6 field goals per game bringing him slighly under 40% from the field on the season. Even more astounding was him shoooting a career low 68% from the free throw line.

Once can view Hughes significant change in playing style by reviewing the mix provided below.
