NBA ROLE: VERSATILE 4/5

A German import, Maxi Kleber is a hybrid, 4/5 able to step out & score + convert shots between the lines; takes advantage of playing time: shooting ability has carried Kleber into a primary rotation role - keying in defense & rebounding has aided his staying power; does well to stay in front of offensive players - physical, great at drawing charges; pick & pop shooter: Kleber’s able to hit Js from deep after screening - good option for penetrators; raw turnaround game, needs to continue adding to arsenal in mid-low post; good finisher up top, rolls hard after screening if the (3-pt.) line is defended; valued in Dallas - Kleber’s improved a ton - key performer at the 4/5
