Victor Claver (2.05; 1988) is showing his quality to everybody in this season start. He finally seems to be the player that everybody was expecting, with tons of self-confidence and a killer instinct to score points from everywhere on the court.

He is adapting perfectly to his new role in Pamesa, playing as small forward. He has been playing this position since he was a kid, but his physical strength and jumping abilities had moved him to the power forward position during his first two seasons with Pamesa Valencia.

Now he scores, rebounds, blocks shots, is able to defend everybody... but the most important change he has undergone is his mentality. He lacked of competitiveness until now. He was afraid of making mistakes. Every time he failed, he looked to his coach and knew that he was about to be changed. Now it is quite different. He is one year older and knows what to make when he is on the court, he knows what to do every time and he is becoming the leader of his team. A star in the ACB.

In his first four games of this season he is averaging 14 points per game, including two great shooting performances in the first and fourth games of the seasons.

Against Cai Zaragoza his shooting was perfect: he scored all of his ten shots. Against MMT Estudiantes he failed just one field goal and a free throw, but scored 4 out of 4 treys to finish with 23 points.

At the end, the crowd stood for an ovation. And Arturas Karnisovas, international scout for the Houston Rockets, and his colleague from the Miami Heat were, for sure, impressed with the kid.

Interview Arturas KARNISOVAS

24/10/2008

1/ Fourteen years ago, Cholet Basket’s fans discovered you on his team. What have you done after leaving Cholet Basket?

Well, first of all last 14 years went by very quickly, but I will never forget Cholet. It was my first professional job and I enjoyed every moment. After leaving Cholet I played for Barcelona 95-97, for Olympiacos 97-98, Fortitudo Bologna 98-00, and finished in Barcelona 2000-02. Retired in 2002, worked for the business management firm Assante, in the fall of 2003 joined the NBA in basketball operations international, and August, 2008 joined the Rockets as a Director of Global Scouting.

2/ what are your best memories of your season in Cholet Basket?

My best memories; first, you never forget your first professional job. It will always have a special place in my heart. I learned so much from playing in Cholet; from my teammates, coaches and fans. I developed in Cholet as a player and as an individual, and all lessons that I have learned there I used them in further development of my career. I will never forget fans of Cholet and their loyalty. Small city, but with such deep basketball tradition and incredible fans.

3/ Do you have some news about other players of the team ?

I am coming to see Cholet play and at the same time I will get a chance to revisit my past and remember my days there. I actually tried to convince Antoine Rigaudeau to join me on this trip, but he has other obligationsJ. The nice thing is that we still very good friends with him and his family, we always keep in touch.

4/ Can you explain what is your new job ?

My responsibilities in Houston entail international scouting, college scouting and also scouting an NBA free agent market (seeing NBA games, watching players and collecting information that will help to make a decision in the future).

5/ Why did you come to see this game ?

I came to see this game for many reasons, but one of them is to see Cholet play. Unfortunately, I cannot comment any further.

6/ One word for Cholet Basket’s fans ?

I am not sure if I can say it in one word, but Cholet has great basketball tradition and I hope they will keep it that way. I am a very big fan. Let’s go Red Devils!!!!!
