The New York Knicks missed the playoffs in 2016-17, but the disappointment was blended with encouragement. Kristaps Porzingis made another leap towards stardom, and Willy Hernangomez proved to have All-Star potential of his own.
Following his All-Rookie First Team campaign, Hernangomez has received a quality NBA 2K18 rating with the 2017-18 season nearing.
Hernangomez became a double-double machine for the Knicks during his incrementally impressive rookie season. He earned opportunities to start as the season progressed, and rewarded Jeff Hornacek’s faith with his play.
Following what can fairly be described as a strong rookie season, Hernangomez has earned a rating of 77 from the staff over at NBA 2K18.
