NBA Mock Draft Pick #20 -- Juan Hernangomez, Power Forward, Spain
SBNation's Indiana Pacers blog, Indy Cornrows, explain their pick:
For a team that so vocally aspires to join the NBA's pace-and-space revolution, the Indiana Pacers are curiously thin on mobile/perimeter-oriented options at the four. Enter Hernangomez, a sleek, 20-year-old combo-forward out of Spain, with projectable NBA length, athleticism, and shooting ability. Defense and signability are question marks, but at No. 20, it's hard to identify a better fit for the Pacers' intended style of play.
Ridiculous Upside analysis: Juan Hernangomez mighr be the perfect example of what modern NBA teams look for in a stretch 4. The 6'9 power forward exhibits a smooth perimeter jumper (shot 36% from 3 with Movistar Estudiantes) with an ability to cut to the rim. Those abilities could allow him to be a solid stretch-4 for the Indiana Pacers.
