Juancho Hernangomez largely went unnoticed around the NBA last season. Playing less than 1,000 minutes as a mid-first round pick from Spain, it’s easy to fly under the radar. For as unassuming as Hernangomez can be though, he is just as amazing at a number of things on the basketball court.
First and foremost, Juancho is an incredible shooter, and when I say incredible, I truly mean it. While the sample size is still small, what the Spanish forward accomplished at his size is unprecedented for a player in his role. He shot 40.2% from behind the three point line, and for rookies who matched his number of attempts on less than 1,000 minutes a night, only four in the history of the NBA have matched him.
