The Willy Hernangomez thread

In the pursuit of reinforcing the second unit for the playoffs I think that Willy is a player very well worth of taking a gamble on. In my opinion underutilized by Borrego, who's basically using him as his 3rd string center behind Zeller and Biyombo.

Some positive notes:
- High bb IQ, understands how to play the pick n' roll
- Has a good stroke and is unafraid to take three attempts when left open
- Is only 25 years old, I really think Quin could use his developmental magic on him
- The Jazz can get him cheap

He has been getting in foul trouble early this season but this is something that can be worked on. In 10 minutes last night he scored 15 points 6/6 from the field, including a 3 pter, 6 rebounds and 1 assist (in garbage time one could argue).

Bottom line, I think he's a low risk, intriguing prospect and I wouldn't mind the Jazz giving him a shot here. He also seems to be a genuinely nice dude that I think would merge into this team without a problem.

I think he’s about as effective as TB... And he’s 3 years older and unfamiliar with our system. If we go get anyone I want them to be a clear upgrade.
 
This site loves its "let's get this guy we just played against 'cause he had a few good minutes against us."

Dude can't get off the bench unless it's garbage minutes on a bad team. Could be the coach's fault, I guess, but why risk it?
I was wondering when this thread would flush you out.

Maybe the board isn’t enamored in the way you claim it is. Maybe, for example, some posters are actually familiar with a player and use the occasion of a game against him to start a discussion with less initiated people?

Dunno. I’m sure you feel like you have a total grasp of what’s going on. And that everybody can be easily lumped together.

Dude averages about 6mpg and already has about 30DNPs and plays behind two very flawed centers in Blowjobo and Zeller.

Something is amiss.

Get me back Marvin for depth at the 3 and now you're talking.
