More Hugo highlights from WC Qualifiers

Hugo really does remind me so much of Dan Majerle. That steal he makes on the 2nd play in that video, playing the passing lane, chasing it all the way downcourt, saving it inbounds to a teammate who gets the bucket. Hugo looks so much like Dan Majerle on that play.

People remember Majerle so much for his 3 point shooting but they forget he was a superb hustle player, strong rebounder, and an All-Defense level defender. He also had nice passing and handles too.

Same size. Same physique. Similar level of quickness & athleticism. The dunks. Thunder Dan!

I can see that comparison working, not bad at all.

I think Dan was a little stronger, but Hugo is a better at D already by a slight margin but it is a good comparison.
