Hughes is playing a bigger role, playing better defensively, and on a weaker team, while being one full year younger.
Makar is ripping it up on a stacked team. Defensively he has more issues, but his 50 points in 53 games over hughes 53 points in 68 games, stats scouts will jump onto that without probably ever seeing both play. Hughes play a better rounded defensive game at this point and have already been playing shut down minutes.
Hughes for me, but I don't really give a damn anymore.
