Spain is undefeated through their first four games of EuroBasket ’17, thanks in large part to Juancho Hernangomez’ play. Hernangomez was tasked with guarding one of Croatia’s top players, Bojan Bogdanovic, earlier today and came up big with a clutch block to seal the victory for Spain.
“He’s in high level games, playing good minutes. I’m very happy for him because I get to be with him in Denver and here,” Nuggets and Team Spain assistant coach had to say of Hernangomez.
Juancho came into today’s game off an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double against Team Romania a game prior and second on the team in points-per-game, behind only Pau Gasol, with 11.
