The management has officially designated him as the new franchise player of the taronja team, a role he assumes with a promising international projection.
Montero has proven his worth this season, establishing himself as the second most valuable player in the Endesa League, with an average of 19.2 credits per game.
- 15.9 points per game
- 36.1% three-point shooting
- 3.7 rebounds

In the Eurocup, Montero led in scoring and valuation, averaging 13.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals, with an average valuation of 15.9.
Despite not shining in key moments such as the Copa del Rey or the Eurocup and Liga Endesa finals, his overall performance has been outstanding, justifying the club’s commitment to his continuity.
Valencia Basket begins a new stage with Montero as its leader, aiming to establish itself among the greats of European basketball, now from its new home in the Roig Arena.
