With just 21 years old, the Dominican shooting guard has been rewarded with a contract that places him at the highest salary level of the team, reflecting his importance on and off the court. The management has officially designated him as the new franchise player of the taronja team, a role he assumes with great international projection. Montero has shined this season as the second most valued player in the Liga Endesa, recording an average of 19.2 credits per game. His numbers in the league speak for themselves:

• 15.9 points per game
• 36.1% three-point shooting
• 3.7 rebounds
• 4.4 assists
• 1.1 steals

In the Eurocup, he was the absolute leader in scoring and valuation, averaging 13.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals, for an average valuation of 15.9. Although he didn’t shine in key moments like the Copa del Rey or the Eurocup and Liga Endesa finals, his overall performance has been outstanding, which fully justifies the club’s commitment to his long-term continuity. Valencia Basket thus begins a new era with Montero as its standard, seeking to establish itself among the greats of European basketball, now from its new home in the Roig Arena.
