In 2016-17, the New York Knicks received an early indication of what Willy Hernangomez will provide for years to come. He excelled in more areas than one, but even as a rookie, Hernangomez proved to be an outstanding rebounder.
As Spain tears through the competition at EuroBasket 2017, Hernangomez is further establishing his brilliance on the boards.
Hernangomez led Spain to a convincing 99-60 victory over Nikola Vucevic and Montenegro in the tournament opener. He flirted with a double-double the next time out, thus helping Spain run away with a 93-56 win over Czech Republic.
In Spain’s third game of EuroBasket 2017, Hernangomez stepped up once again in a 91-50 obliteration of Romania.
