I'm one of the few that think Vic got a raw deal here. He's a smart defender, good passer, rebounder. He has not had enough court time to get his shot going. In my opinion, he's better than 4 other bench players on the team. I'd like to see him traded or at least bought out so he can get on with his career. Some teams do value defensive specialists.
I honestly would love to see him play before Barton sometimes. Barton just looks lost out there, specially last night.
I am a proponent of trading trob with others and part of the reason is I think given a chance the heady play of claver would be great at bu pf.
I would like to see him have another chance too. He's probably a better shooter than his numbers indicate, but even if not, he does a lot of little things and plays his role. I don't know why the coaches have written him off....they see him more in practice than we do though so they must know something.
Last season they had a write in question interview with Wes and I asked him which Blazer player had more to offer than fans have seen or something along that line and he didn't hesitate to answer. He said, Vic is the best bench player that we don't get to see. He also said he's a better shooter than we've seen. High praise from Wes.
Maybe stotts doesn't like Spaniards? We cant lose claver then we will never have an all white guy line up. Kamen rolo leonard claver blake.
