Juancho Hernangomez was not exactly a “sexy,” pick for the Denver Nuggets like Jamal Murray was, or even Malik Beasley for that matter. However, he quickly proved he belonged on the Nuggets’ roster and proved many fans wrong with his efficient play and good decision making.
While he did not put up scoring numbers off the charts, Hernangomez was still an asset to the team who could not be overlooked. Golden State learned this the hard way during the regular season.
One stat of his which shows his potential is his effective field goal percentage. Effective field goal percentage is a stat which adjusts for the fact that a three point field goal is worth one more point than a two point field goal.
