Hugo Gonzalez NBA Mock Drafts
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Hugo Gonzalez has appeared:
Round 1, Pick 24 — Oklahoma City Thunder
González has been with Real Madrid over the past three seasons, splitting time between its second team and main roster. He has played sparingly this year on a veteran-laden roster, though he has shown potential when given the opportunity to log significant minutes. The Spaniard hasn't yet developed a consistent 3-point shot, converting 29.2% on 1.2 attempts per game, but is a good playmaker and can defend multiple positions. He'll likely spend time in the G League next season, and the Thunder have been one of the best teams in recent memory at developing players, making this a good fit. Many believe his range begins around this pick.
Round 1, Pick 26 — Brooklyn Nets (via NYK)
Gonzalez is a tremendous athlete playing in Spain for Real Madrid and has started to get some playing time here and there for the senior team as a teenager. He plays with an exceptional motor and just consistently plays incredibly hard all of the time. He's one of those dudes who always gives second and third efforts across the board, both on offense and defense, to get loose balls. From a skill perspective, Gonzalez shows some on-ball ability, but it's going to take time for him to get to NBA level with it. The swing skill here will be the jumper. He's good enough to be an impactful defender and off-ball player. However, he's going to have to make 3s. So far this year, he's only made 29 percent, and it's never been consistent.
Round 1, Pick 24 — Oklahoma City Thunder (via LAC)
Scouting report: Gonzalez, 19, has had a difficult time gaining traction this season amid inconsistent playing time with Real Madrid, hitting 29% of his 3-pointers. When given the opportunity, Gonzalez has shown what makes him interesting with his defensive intensity, feel for the game and explosiveness.
He can guard multiple positions, and has shown glimpses of the passing prowess and winning qualities that made him a highly regarded prospect at a young age. -- Givony
NBA intel and fit: It's difficult to envision Oklahoma City using all three of its first-rounders with its current roster situation. Nevertheless, the Thunder have several months to determine a plan, and there will be no shortage of suitors if they decide to trade some of their picks. -- Givony

Round 1, Pick 27 — Brooklyn Nets (via HOU)
Gonzalez hasn't played or produced much for Real Madrid this season, which is mostly the byproduct of being a 19 year old on a first-place team in a legitimate professional league. But the athleticism and high-motor that's made him an intriguing prospect for years still exists and will likely be enough to get Gonzalez selected in the first round. Good flyer for a Brooklyn team with four first-rounders.

Round 1, Pick 36 — Brooklyn Nets
Brooklyn will likely consolidate some of its five picks this year. But if the Nets keep this pick, Gonzalez could fit anywhere as a high-motor wing with great defensive tools and a slashing style on offense. If his jumper and handle develop, he could be a versatile two-way starter. But he barely even played off the bench overseas.
