You don't get it because you don't understand the dynamics in college and pro basketball. A player like Hugley may never play in the NBA because his size and lack of athleticism prevents that. However, he very well could be one of the best COLLEGE basketball players in the country, making him worth 6 figures to SEC teams.
We can sit here forever and list elite college players who, if we transplanted to 2022 college basketball would be worth 6 figures to SEC teams. I mean, just Pitt guys:
Chevy Troutman
Ashton Gibbs
Talib Zanna (maybe a 50K guy)
Then look at PG's who are a too unathletic for the NBA but elite college PG's
Knight
Krauser
Fields
etc
The NBA and College Basketball are essentially 2 entirely different sports. A college player like Hugley could be worth a heck of a lot of money to an NCAA team and absolutely nothing to an NBA team
