San Antonio Spurs
29 JUAN HERNANGOMEZForward, Estudiantes
Juan Hernangomez is a very typical player for the San Antonio Spurs to pick here. Hernangomez is a 6’9″ international forward who can shoot from long-range.
He nailed 37.9 percent of his threes with Estudiantes last season, along with averaging 9.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. The Spaniard has some holes in his game on defense, but the Spurs have a way of developing players into being perfect fits for their system.
Hernangomez has a high motor and he’s been very productive in Spain. He’s not a mature player yet, but that’s to be expected of a 20-year-old. San Antonio could use another combo forward to sit behind Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge going forward.
Although the Spurs made a very high percentage of their three-point shots last season, they were 26th in threes attempted per game. Adding a shooter like Hernangomez could help San Antonio add more spacing to their offense next season.
