As fans on Twitter reacted to the signing, Hernangomez will need to establish himself in Toronto.
During Hernangomez's time with Utah, he played one of the most significant roles of his career, but his career was trending downward beforehand. If he continues to build off last season, Hernangomez could end his career with a movie-style ending.
