    He'd be doing better if Paul Allen hadn't let him go.

    This is getting old, especially since your examples are so fucking stupid.

    Pop would take Claver in a second. Then yell at him until he learned to shoot.

    Which is easier to change, his weight so he can play PF, or his shooting so he can play SF?

    Why won't the organization have him put on weight?

    Olshey should use his Hollywood contacts and bring in De Niro to explain how he did it in Raging Bull.

    Quite a downer that the Claver experiment hasn't panned out thus far. Big fan of his BBIQ, team orientated play-style.
    I still feel with a bit more playing time (ie. SOME playing time Terry!), he would regain some confidence, and with it, some form.
    IMO he should at least be in the conversation with Wright, on the depth chart, at backup SF. If Wright can get minutes then Claver deserves a shot.

    How much weight are you talking about? If it slows him down in any way then I would disagree doing that for any player. I missed the NBA TV discussion last night on the increased use of the stretch 4 as a weapon, but we all know it to be a factor. Which means it would be nice to have someone tall and quick enough to guard them 24 feet from the basket. Same for the bigger/longer SF's in the league.

    Of course Claver only got into the game last night when we were up about 35 and there was about 2 minutes left. But then he gets in and I'm reminded that he can actually play! He moves fluidly and he just knows what to do. Seems such a waste.

    But he can't hit a shot to save his basketball life. That is the problem.

    That's the problem. He doesn't have one.
