New Orleans Pelicans center Willy Hernangomez discussed Jonas Valanciunas’ recent solid play plus their friendship after Thursday’s 126-117 home win vs. the San Antonio Spurs (averaging 26.5 PPG/14.0 RPG/3.0 APG/1.0 SPG/52.6% FG/58.3% 3-PT/100% FT in his last two games).
(via New Orleans Pelicans):
“I’m super happy for JV. He’s my best friend on the team, I would say. Great person. He’s helping me on and off the court. Helping me to get better as well. He’s one of the best centers in the league. And then, he’s got a big heart. He wants everybody to be good around him. So I’m super proud of JV’s work last game. Today, he dominated again. I’m super happy to be around JV. I just love him.”
