Willy Hernangomez and Kristaps Porzingis are close friends and New York Knicks teammates. They both made their name in Liga ACB, both play interior positions, and both were acquired by the Knicks at the 2015 NBA Draft.
As of Friday, October 7, they’ve also both added putback dunks to their career highlight reel.
Hernangomez is a 6’11” and 255-pound beast of a center with a 7’1.5″ wingspan and extensive professional experience. The key to Hernangomez’s success in Spain has been his energy and tenacity on both ends of the floor.
Per Ian Begley of ESPN New York, Hernangomez channeled his inner Porzingis during a recent Knicks practice.
