Victor Claver was getting paid 3mil per to ride the pine. Diaz isn't being paid by us. Also, he's younger than Victor.
Clavier was a first round pick; Diez was the 54th pick taken after Jon Diebler, Ha Seung-Jin, Nedzad Sinanovic and Boumtje-Boumtje. I wouldn't want to sign Clavier for the minimum but he's still better. Diez is an inferior prospect to whoever we have to cut in training camp yet since he is a euro stash he got selected in the draft ahead of the Cliff Alexander, Luis Montero types.
Wow, I feel for Victor. Here are the "highlights" from his most recent game. Check out the kind of depressing gyms he gets to play in: Meanwhile, Dani Diez continues to contribute much less to Unicaja than the magnificently named Mindaugas Kuzminskas.
