He has been an invitee to the national team camp for EuroBasket 2007 and the 2008 Olympic Games, but never made the final roster. Now, it is happening: Victor Claver will play at EuroBasket 2009, a big step in his promising basketball career. Just 21, he is a go-to-guy playing for Pamesa Valencia in the ACB league, and was drafted last June in the NBA first round by the Portland Trail Blazers. Claver can play the "3" and "4", hit the open three and the jumper off the dribble, but can also put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket. His great athleticism helped him to win the 2007 Slam Dunk contest of the ACB league. |
