After seven NBA seasons, the interior of the Pelicans Willy Hernangomez returns to the other side of the Atlantic to join his Spanish lands.
Draft the 35th position in 2015, Willy Hernangomez made a remarkable entrance to the Knicks by winning a selection in the All-Rookie Second Team. An encouraging first campaign (8.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.3 passes in 18 minutes) which will remain almost his best production across the Atlantic. Transfr in 2018 with the Hornets, he fails to make his place in the rotations. He still revived with the Pelicans for three seasons as a replacement pivot: 8.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in 135 games. Free agent this summer, the Spaniard did not receive a proposal from New Orleans, who even signed another experienced backup interior, Cody Zeller.
Willy Hernangomez has therefore decided to stop his NBA experience to return home. He has just signed a three-year contract with FC Barcelona. The offer was made a few days ago, but his rights belonged to Real Madrid, his training club, which had 24 hours to match the offer. In the end, the Madrilnes did not line up. After the departure of Nikola Mirotic, Barcelona were looking for a reinforcement of weight. MVP of the last EuroBasket, Hernangomez meets these criteria perfectly. To see now, if his brother Juancho Hernangomez limit to. Released by the Raptors last February,”Good Cruz” is currently without a professional contract.
