Spanish prospect Willy Hernangomez is hoping to join his former Sevilla teammate Kristaps Porzingis in the Big Apple.
Player agent Andy Miller told Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical that his client wants to join the New York Knicks this season and beyond.
The Knicks selected the 22-year-old center with the 35th pick in 2015 and promptly stashed him in the Spanish league with Real Madrid where he received limited playing time.
Hernangomez averaged 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game while shooting a blistering 65 percent from the floor.
