Boston Celtics power forward Juan Hernangomez’ prospects of starting alongside the Jays, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford/Robert Williams definitely look good based on the scuttlebutt that arose out of Cs media day.
The natural power forward has at least one fan of his skillset, and it’s a key guy to have on your side.
That’d be Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens, who traded away two backcourt pieces (Kris Dunn, Carsen Edwards) to land the former first-round pick from the Memphis Grizzlies.
Stevens noted called Hernangomez an “accentuater” when describing how the Spaniard may fit in beside the Jays:
I think one of his under-discussed great qualities is his cutting.
