OAKLAND, Calif. — Knicks center Willy Hernangomez would love to be teammates again with Luka Doncic. The question is which NBA jersey either will be wearing next season.
The 6-foot-6 Doncic, playing for Real Madrid, is slated as a high lottery pick in June. Hernangomez, who played with Doncic on the Spanish League power in 2015-16 after being traded from Seville, compares him — as others have — to former Nets great Drazen Petrovic.
Petrovic, who was killed in a 1993 car crash as he was entering the prime of his career, also played for Real Madrid.
