Juan Hernangomez
Measurements
6'9" 220 lbs 20 years old
Pro comparison
Similar player to an Ersan Ilyasova
Strengths
Juan Hernangomez is an interesting prospect who has the potential to be a solid role player in the NBA. He can play a little bit of inside and outside. He has some nifty post moves and good touch around the basket and he can step out and shoot the ball. He is a good athlete and can run the floor very well for his size. He is decent off the bounce, but may not be explosive enough to make up for his lack of size against NBA post players. He can play the 3 or 4 in different situations, but due to his lack of dribbling ability he will be limited to what he can do as a SF. Hernangomez has good size if he were to play the SF, but for now he plays more like a PF which makes him somewhat of a tweener. His defense is going to need to improve if he is going to play both the 3 and 4 positions. Right now he is fairly slow laterally and gets manhandled in the post. He will need to add muscle and work on his defensive fundamentals to right these issues. Overall Hernangomez has some versatility and has the potential to be a solid rotational player.
