On the first day of August, Willy Hernangómez will be an unrestricted free agent, so he will have to go back to find a place in the best league in the world. Even so, the oldest of the brothers has put his commitment to the Spanish team first, with which he travels today to Las Vegas to continue with the previous preparation for the Olympic Games. During the concentration, the pivot stood in front of the microphones of the COPE to discern your future and the Olympic summer that awaits you.
Willy began the section of the interview referring to the NBA defining the recent season as positive. But he showed obvious concern for his immediate future. “The truth is that I don’t know what the future holds for me. My dream has always been to be in the NBA and I am working for it. I hope that the whole issue of free agency is solved soon and I can focus on the Games, “said the player in the most serious part of the talk. However, this time in a more relaxed way, the eldest Hernangómez joked about a return to Europe. Asked by Real Madrid Willy said that “they should save me a hole”.
The center was already immersed in free agency just over 8 months ago, when he signed with the New Orleans Pelicans for a single year at a rate of 1.7 million dollars. His season in the southern franchise has gone from low to high and he has finished as a starter and with the best averages since his rookie year. Willy has recorded 7.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in 18 minutes of play per night. In principle he should have no problem finding accommodation as a resource for a squad, since last year he already had the interest of the Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Hornets, his previous team.
