The Willy Hernangomez thread
- Thread starter Jazzta
- Start date
I find his being out of the rotation strange so I’m eager to learn more, because his production wasn’t a complete aberration last night (>20 PER, not unlike TB).
Tony’s been good, I really like his effort and his hands. I still question his IQ, his lateral quickness which I think he does his best with, and he generally just looks... sloppy, for lack of a better word. I don’t think his weaknesses or his experience (he is basically a rookie) make a strong case for a rotation player in the playoffs. I would like the Jazz to continue searching.
Hernangomez objectively played quite well last night (yes, in garbage time). If he’s just a little more sure-footed, comfortable shooting threes, and has a little better IQ then that looks like an upgrade to me.

hornets are notorious for their player development though. so many talents gone wasted there. same thing can be said about the knicks. allonzo trier was a sensation in NYC a year ago. look where he is now. completely out of rotation. even their fans were not happy with the way their management treated their talents/prospects.
it's hardly because he chased empty stats on a bad team either. he scored 31 versus the rockets and completely embarrassed pJ tucker
if we fail to bring Clarkson back in the summer, Trier would be a good backup option.

I remember him playing well against us over the last few years and was surprised to see he was still on the Whorenettes when he checked in late in the game. I thought for sure we would have seen him sooner if he was still on the team considering the lack of quality play at that position we saw the rest of the game.
I wonder if he's in the doghouse and they're not playing him much to keep him from getting injured or something for trade value.
The return of the sticky bandit is nigh.

It wasn’t a question.

I like the idea of chasing him in the summer... he could develop into something more but I thing he’s as good of a project as Bradley but without the institutional knowledge. TB is making slight improvements... I’m definitely not his biggest fan and I think his ceiling is pretty “meh” but he looks like he’s getting it... just not intuitive yet. Kind of like how Mudiay was doing things right sometimes but you could tell it wasn’t really natural... now we can see he’s more comfortable and thinking less.
His lateral quickness and reaction times are pretty good. Other teams and the playoffs will look like what happens when the mice realize that owl you have outside isn’t real. Or when the kids taking **** on your porch realize the camera you put up is a dummy camera with a red light on it.

They lost that game by 40... I know you don’t like Bradley but this guy doesn’t fix the things you don’t like about Bradley. I’d rather go get Udoh or Bogut.
Not trying to be a negative Nancy... I think it’s the position we most need to upgrade but I don’t think this guy is the answer.
You know I’m totally down for Bogut and Udoh.
