OK Fez, you've convinced me. I want Hernangomez!
I wouldn't be surprised to see him go before our pick, though. There's usually a surprise international pick in the bottom third of the first round.
The hard part for Portland will be if all three of Hernangomez, Upshaw and Justin Anderson are all there. Anderson is more of an immediate need, Upshaw could have Rudy Gobert defensive potential and Hernangomez could be the poor man's Marc Gasol. Having watched more tape of Upshaw I'm cooling on him - he blocks a TON of shots, but he's otherwise kind of clueless. Hernangomez wouldn't really fit with Meyers, either. I just hope Meyers won't stop us getting good players the way Drexler preempted Jordan or Telfair preempted Chris Paul.
