Hugo Gonzalez

Draft Notes

Gonzalez is a big time prospect out of Spain with lottery to mid first round potential in the 2025 NBA Draft. He’s one of the top international prospects in his generation and has been a star in youth tournaments but was buried on a very deep Real Madrid team.

He’s a well-built 6-7 and has natural strength in his frame. Uses this strength to bump defenders off balance and get into the lane.

Can drive and finish with either hand and is shifty with the ball. He’s got handles, plays with change of pace and can contort his body past defenders and use euro-steps to get to the basket.

Has a nice shooting stroke and shows a lot of promise as a perimeter shooter but is still working to become consistent and more reliable from downtown.

Has a fairly quick release on his jumper and is good in catch and shoot situations. Can hit jumpers off the dribble and projects as a solid NBA level shooter.

Is a very aware defender who picks pockets and reads passing lanes. Is an overall high energy player who impacts both ends and runs the floor hard.
