The New York Knicks are trusting Kristaps Porzingis to lead the future of the organization. Working alongside Porzingis is a player who’s not only the 7’3″ phenom’s best friend, but a rising star in his own right: Willy Hernangomez.
As Porzingis turns heads with his dominant performances at EuroBasket 2017, Hernangomez is following suit with sensational showings of his own.
Hernangomez is an often overlooked player on the deep and decorated Spanish national team. With NBA stars and European legends surrounding him, however, Hernangomez is proving to be the future of Spain’s vaunted basketball program.
Fresh off of dominating Nikola Vucevic and Montenegro, Hernangomez returned with a near double-double in a 93-56 demolition of the Czech Republic.
