Juancho Hernangomez: already better than Victor Claver ever was?
I’m only talking about the NBA here. Their respective careers in Europe are of no interest to me; do I look like DownToReal to you?
Victor Claver was a pretty large disappointment for me. He played three years for Portland while never EVER doing anything of note. I have a vid of him scoring a then career-high 12 on my channel. Somehow I missed the later game where he scored 13, but it doesn’t really matter. 20 points was nothing but a fever dream for him. He sucked. Maybe he’s good in Europe, but he sucked in the NBA.
Juancho Hernangomez, only 19 games into his career, has already surpassed Claver’s meager career high. That’s pretty conclusive evidence for him being better than Claver right there. Claver once made 3 threes in a game. Juancho just made 4 threes is one quarter. I was actually expecting at least 20 after that, but you can’t have everything.
Another strike against Claver: he was super ugly. Juancho may look like a little kid whose mom still cuts his hair, but at least he’s not an ugly mutant goblin.
