Hi there, Laker Fan but Spaniard first.
So , thats the question what do you expect from Hernangomez II ?

Some strong D-League play...

Two years in a row the Nuggets have had great drafts. We expect this draft to be just as good. Juancho is coming to a up and coming team with its best remaining opening for a rookie at power forward. His situation looks perfect.

Just like they did with Jokic, they will probably bring him along slowly.

Thanks for visiting - personally, I'm not sure what to expect. They call him a PF but when I watch him play, I see more of a SF. Which is fine with the modern NBA where positions blur. He seems like a good stretch-4 and seems able to hold his own against at least half of the big men. He moves well, but his defense seems a little weak - not unusual with rookies (college or euro). Most important, I firmly believe we are getting a man that will work hard and maintain a good attitude. I like that.

i think he will be pretty good in his first year. Won't get a lot of minutes, until we make some trades, but in those minutes he gets, he will show us that he can play, and what can he do. Something like Harris vs Indiana in his first year....

He has the Jokic role from last year. Jokic was supposed to just be a prospect at the end of the bench that could benefit from practicing with the team and getting into garbage time games. But once he started getting into games he forced his way into the rotation and eventually the starting lineup. Let's hope juancho does the same thing.
