While Ricky Rubio is unquestionably the top NBA  prospect in the ACB, Victor
Claver has given scouts a very good reason to continue to head to Spain this
season, despite Rubio’s continuous absence. After getting his first taste of
ACB basketball in 2006, Claver saw consistent minutes last year with Pamesa
Valencia. While his production was solid (albeit inconsistent) considering he
was only 19, Claver has taken his game to a completely different level this
season despite having the added pressure of being one of Pamesa’s go-to
players.

RUBIO之外    VICTOR就是西班牙目前第二夯的人 

從他2006加入球隊Pamesa Valencia以來  一直有穩定的出賽和新人的不穩定

但是今年突然來個大變身  成為球隊的GO TO GUY


The name of the game for Claver has always been confidence (he’s been
criticized for being passive and underachieving at times), and he’s been
riding a rollercoaster this year, but still finds himself amongst the ACB’s
most efficient players. At 6’10, with a developing frame, Claver has the
size to play power forward and the quickness and skill set to play out on the
perimeter. While he has seen a lot of time at power forward in the past, this
season marked his first opportunity to see extensive minutes at small
forward. His transition from backup four to starting three has looked very
encouraging at times, and is clearly hugely beneficial to his NBA stock.

現在的VICTOR無論何時都很有信心 (他曾被批評打球不太堅決)
今年的他經歷劇變  並 找到自己成為ACB最有效率球員
6-10還在成長的肉體 他打四號有速度優勢並且技巧偏向外圍
去年多半打四號  今年改打一點三號
可以兼打三四號成為他未來在NBA選秀上很吸引人之處


Though he started out the season on an absolute tear from the outside,
putting up 19big numbers in the first three rounds of the season before
dropping 23 on MMT Estudiantes in round four, he followed up that game with
19 combined points and ice cold shooting in his next three contests. After
consecutive losses to significantly less talented opponents in Menorca and
Ricoh Manresa is rounds 5 and 6, Valencia let go both Head Coach Fotis
Katsikaris and General Manager Johnny Rogers. With Croatian coach Neven
Spahija now on board, Claver’s fortunes seems to have taken a turn for the
better after quality outting in back to back games against ACB powers Unicaja
Malaga and Real Madrid .

這個球季前三場他在外圍每場都交出很好的數據 球隊也贏球
但第四場輸了  他得了19分
之後第五六場  表現不好連爛隊都輸
球隊所屬教練Fotis Katsikaris跟GM被一併開除  換上代教練Neven Spahija
這個他個機會好好找回賽場上的感覺以迎戰下一輪的強敵 Unicaja Malaga跟
Real Madrid


In a round eight contest against Unicaja, Claver paced Pamesa with 19 points
on 3-4 shooting from the field, 4-5 from three, and 1-3 from the line to go
along with 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, and a steal. He started the game by running
off the back screen for an easy alley-oop before raining a couple of catch
and shoot jumpers from the outside. His other baskets came from quick moves
to the rim for acrobatic finishes, largely characteristic of his offensive
game at this point.

在第八場遇上Unicaja 他交出19分 2分球3-4 中  三分球4-5中
罰球1-3中 四REB跟2BLK 1 STL的成績
他利用掩護製造輕鬆阿理由的機會
在外圍製造大量的投射
其他的進球還有包括快速移動到籃框把球神奇的放進
多元化的進攻手段在本場比賽發生



In Pamesa’s round nine game against Real Madrid, Claver looked like a
completely different player, going 0-6 from three, but still managing 8
points and 10 rebounds. This game offered a glimpse of the type of player he
can be as a power forward when his shot isn’t falling, an example of the
inside ability he hasn’t gotten a chance to showcase very often this season.

第九場對上Real Madrid 他又變成向另一種球員
三分0-6中
但有八分10REB
他向人證明了他外線手感不佳時
他能打內線的可能

While he has played well recently, there may still be more changes coming in
Valencia. Although Claver’s increased role has done a lot for his
development, it seems that Pamesa may not be entirely satisfied with his
production thus far. They have been linked recently to names like Gabe
Muoneke and Marc Salyers, both combo forwards who would fill similar roles to
Claver in many situations. Whether they choose to sign another player could
determine what position Claver plays the rest of this season, and where he
winds up in the future.

因為他最近的表現太好  讓球隊有許多不同的選擇
它們不會滿足於VICTOR現在的成長
他們正在物色新球員如Gabe Muoneke 跟 Marc Salyers
這兩位能扮演分擔目前VICTOR位置的一些角色
不論他們簽下誰
都可能會影響到VICTOR接下來的生涯發展方向


The first thing that jumps out about Claver’s game this is just how
opportunistically he plays his position offensively. With two talented guards
that love to shoot or break their defender down off the dribble in Ruben
Douglas and Shammond Williams playing next to him, Claver often finds himself
receiving the ball with an open look or with his defender off balance. While
his silky smooth three point shot (he’s ranked seventh in 3FG% in our ACB
database) has been his calling card this season, he’s experienced more than
his fair share of struggles.

VICTOR在進攻上是很喜歡找尋機會的那種球員
不像隊上其他兩位球員如Ruben Douglas  Shammond Williams
喜歡自己投籃和切入破壞防守
VICTOR喜歡空手走位接球搞的對手身體失去平衡的打法
他的柔軟投射已成為本季他的註冊商標(三分球ACB排第七)
他打的有經驗的時候比失常時刻還多


When Claver is making his shots, he’s a force, but his confidence tends to
wane when he misses his first couple of jumpers. At times he’ll get
tentative, but against Real Madrid he continued to try and get going. While
he didn’t see positive results, it’s a good sign that he didn’t take
himself out of the game entirely like he did in rounds three through six. 50%
of Claver’s attempts from the field this season have come from beyond the
arc, and he’s making 54% of them so far, while hitting 61% of his overall
shots.

當VICTOR開始連續不進時 他會有點退縮
有時也有點猶豫不決
但是對上強敵時Real Madrid時他會勇往直前
當他覺得要輸球了  他不會擺爛(像他在3-6場球隊低潮那樣)
他有50%的投籃經統計是在弧頂出手
這些在弧頂的投射球他有54%的命中率
他的整體命中率則是64%

In addition to showing vastly improved consistency from the outside, Claver
has also been more aggressive putting the ball on the floor when he sees an
opportunity to get to the rim. He shows an explosive first step and is
capable of playing above the rim, but is still learning to finish
consistently.

除了外線大長進之外  他開始加強切入  如果嗅到有好的機會他就會殺到籃下
但是還需要加強穩定度

What makes Claver such an opportunist is how well he picks and chooses his
spots when attacking the rim. He almost never forces a drive or a shot from
the perimeter, seeming to only shoot when open and only drive when he knows
he can go straight to the rim. This was apparent against Unicaja, where
Claver was able to beat a slowed player in Carlos Jiminez on a couple
occasions, but didn’t even try to get to the rim against the quicker Marcus
Haislip. Claver is getting to the free throw line at a pretty poor rate,
which is a bit disappointing considering the athletic advantages he enjoys
against most matchups.

何時他會選擇進攻籃下呢?
當他覺得籃下沒人阻擾可以長驅直入時  他不會刻意去強迫自己打籃下
譬如對上Unicaja 他看到比自己慢的Carlos Jiminez就會切入吃他
但碰到快的對手如Marcus Haislip他就不會硬幹
他不是個罰球能手  因為他的精神都拿去想和對手做對抗消耗掉了

While his measured style of basketball has helped him put up some gaudy
efficiency numbers (he ranks 2nd in the ACB in points per play, 3rd in true
shooting percentage, and 2nd in effective field goal percentage while also
ranking tenth in PER and EFF amongst qualified players in our database), it
still exposes some of his weaknesses.

他的籃球技巧讓他能在排行榜上名列前矛
ACB得分第二名
投籃命中率第三
最有效率進球率排名第二

但他仍然有缺點


Claver doesn’t turn the ball over very often because he doesn’t take risks,
a characteristic of his game that can be attributed to his inability change
directions with the ball in his hands when attacking the rim. He seems more
content to give the ball up when he gets cut off, and could definitely stand
to become a more dynamic ball-handler to augment his growing perimeter
arsenal . At times he shows nice court vision, so getting better at drawing
addition defenders could improve his playmaking ability as well. Right now he
sports a very poor 1/2 assist to turnover ratio, which definitely needs to
improve if he’s to play on the perimeter full time.

他不常失誤因為他根本很少處理球
他在切入籃下時手跟球都不會變向
他切入後常常往外傳 這增加了他外圍要球投射的機會與比例
他的視野不錯  應該要試著解讀比賽改善持球技巧才是
他目前的A/T 是糟糕的  1:2

Despite having not possessing great lateral quickness, Claver has done a very
nice job defending the perimeter this season. His length gives him the
ability to tip some passes and he’s not adverse to giving some effort on the
defensive end. While he doesn’t garner much attention for his defense, his
ability to create turnovers is a very promising sign (he ranks amongst just
outside of the top 20 in steals per game). In addition to having the ability
to create some turnovers, Claver shows nice anticipation as a help side
defender at times, and is a lot more active defensively than most heralded
players his age.

橫向移動並不出色
但本季的外圍防守卻幹的不錯
他的高度能夠撥掉一些防守球
但卻不能在防守端堅持到底
他的防守不是眾人關注的焦點
但他確實有能力作出好的貼身防守製造對方失誤
他還有好的幫忙防守
他的防守比同年的其實已經算好上許多



That same ability to anticipate also helps him rebound the ball, and while he
’s not a standout in that area of the game, his size and athleticism let him
make an impact despite spending most of his time defending the perimeter (he
ranks 15th in rebounds per game in our database). When Claver does get a
chance to defend the post, he shows good fundamentals, but isn’t quite
strong enough yet to be a factor. He does a great job boxing out his man,
something that helped him quite a bit against a Real Madrid team that
features tremendous rebounders in Felipe Reyes and Jeremiah Massey.

他還有不錯的預測籃板的能力 雖然他的職責並不在此
他的體能跟身高就是他外圍防守最大的優勢(籃板排15)
當他換到內線防守時  他展現了更多的基本功
雖然還不是個吃飯的武器
但他可以守住一些籃板好手如
Felipe Reyes跟Jeremiah Massey.


Claver’s strong play in his past two games hasn’t necessarily led his team
to a win, which is somewhat emblematic of his status as a role-player who
doesn’t necessarily change the complexion of the game. While Claver will
undoubtedly see his percentages dip and rise as the season goes on, he will
need to maintain his confidence and consistency and not let a small step
backwards hurt what has become a solid season. With Eurocup play on the
horizon, and thus the amount of games doubling from one per week to two,
Claver is going to have to deal with a whole new group of challenges, and
will have to assume a bigger role in Pamesa’s offense to help the team avoid
the letdowns they experienced in the ACB against much more formidable
competition. Whether he accomplishes this feat should be reflected in how NBA
scouts perceive his stock this summer.

VICTOR在最近兩場的出色表現沒有帶給球隊勝利
他本來的職責就是角色球員  不需要做太多改變
他本季無疑是更進步了
他不該被一些小瑕疵去破壞這個出色的球季
Eurocup即將來到 將有兩週多場的賽事等著他去打
這是他的新挑戰 而且他被預期在進攻上被賦予更多的重擔
幫助球隊避免降級去對上些ACB曾經打過的強隊
他將會取得的成就會反映在NBA球探對他的評估
