Gonzalez is a very good defender who has a high basketball IQ. He can score well at the rim. His jumper, if it can improve, will make him a for sure top 10 pick.

NBA Comp: RJ Barrett but better defensively.

Shades of/comp:

Good defensively, great athlecisism and downhill attacker. Like Traore, he has great antics at the junior level. He doesn't get a lot of playing time with Real. I don't think he will be a star but a good role player in a rotation is absolutely possible.

Hugo struggled to get minutes on a really good Real Madrid team, which had made a lot of people forget about him.

In the 2023 FIBA U18 EuroBasket he averaged 14/7/2 as Spain finished second.

His strength is his basketball IQ.
