5 & 6. Victor Claver, Parmesa Valencia and Jonas Jerebko, Angelico Bella: A couple of Europeans worth a mention. They’re similar players though Claver is a little better because of his scoring efficiency and the fact that he’s younger. Claver has pretty good potential as a scorer and Jerebko’s scoring numbers are solid enough. Both are weak rebounders and adequate defenders and passers. I have them here, because unless a foreign player really blows me away, I tend to place them between the players I generally like as prospects and the ones I feel come up a little short. If I researched it more, I suspect I would have Claver ahead of Dozier, Carroll and Clark. He might even be more appropriately listed as a SF. Either way these are a couple of decent forwards who should get called on draft night.

Jason Phillipi on draft night
told Wheels that Claver was the 3rd highest Euro on Portland’s draft board, behind Rubio and another guy who didn’t declare for the draft this year (perhaps one of those names, mentioned above?)
You have to wonder if Portland caught wind of another team drafting between 23-30 who were ready to select Victor, so they used #22 to get him. Or, could they have a pre-arranged deal in place that includes VC’s rights in a lopsided trade? Time will tell
