Kristaps Porzingis didn’t disappoint in his EuroBasket 2017 debut on Friday and his teammate and close friend, Willy Hernangomez, wasn’t too shabby either.
Porzingis had 18 points on 7-for-16 shooting including 3-for-6 on three-point attempts in Latvia’s 10 point loss to Serbia. The Serbian team was led by 30 points from Sacramento Kings rookie Bogdan Bogdanovic.
Hernangomez will have a different kind of experience than his buddy at EuroBasket 2017. He’s playing for the loaded Spanish team. They have the Gasol brothers, Ricky Rubio, as well as Willy’s own brother Juancho, and many other former NBA players.
