Willy Hernangomez Earns EuroBasket MVP Honors
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans center Willy Hernangomez was named the EuroBasket MVP in the wake of Spain defeating France for the gold medal Sunday. Hernangomez finished with 14 points and eight rebounds in the final contest, averaging 17.2 PPG throughout the tournament. The 28-year-old has traditionally been utilized as a reserve big man throughout his NBA career, although he set a career high with 9.1 PPG last season for New Orleans. With Jonas Valanciunas and Jaxson Hayes still in the mix for the Pelicans, Hernangomez faces a muddled path to fantasy-relevant playing time in 2022-23, even with his international trophy in tow.
