There's a little buzz right now about a possible surprise at No. 29 where the Nets pick. If no one meets their criteria, would they draft a European in the first round, knowing he wouldn't be available for year or two or, as in the case of Bojan Bogdanovic, three?
The name to keep in mind in this scenario is Guillermo "Willy" Hernangomez, the workman-like center for Sevilla in the Spanish League, Kristap Porzingis' frontcourt mate who also played for a while with Xavier Thames, the Nets 59th pick last June.
