I disagree. I think he'll find ways to get open for mid-range jumpers and will completely destroy on the fastbreak.
Probably because teams will let him shoot it It's great that he plays hard, plays good defense and gets to the FT line, but overall his offensive game is really lacking.
Of course he will find a way to get open mid range shots. Defenses will leave him open because he can't shoot
So how much will Claver end up costing? Sounds like both him and Freeland will get more then rookie contracts. With the economic slowdown I had thought oversees teams would tighten their pockets. I'd be very excited with Claver or Freeland on a cheap rookie deal but if either one costs more then $3million I'm not sure I want them to come over.
As reported by me like 2 weeks ago, Victor Claver is parting ways with his Spanish team and heading to the Blazers, according to Quick on the radio
Bad news for Babbitt. Claver can shoot the ball very well too but has the ability to put the ball on the floor. At 6'10+, we can go for an ultra big lineup: PG: Lillard - 6'3" SG: Batum - 6'9" SF: Claver - 6'10" PF: Aldridge - 6'11" C: Hibbert - 7'2" Noice.
I'm curious if he can demand more than a rookie contract? If we are going to sign him and Freeland to bigger deals it might happen right on July 11th. We could lose our cap room by the 14th if both Hibbert and Nic are here so we probably have to sign the euro's right away. But if we can get Claver on his rookie contract (which is more dollars than Claver's) that'd be much better as we could sign other free agents first.
I remember hearing that about Freeland, I believe because he would join us after his rookie deal was up or something like that?
