The strange fall of Maxi Kleber 😢

I really like Maxi, he’s been good for us many years. And it’s really cool he’s from where Dirk is from.

But what happened to him? He used to be a respectable 3 point shooter. Last night was especially painful and Ty Lue just told his team to sag off of him and it took away so much of Luka and Kyries driving threat. He wasn’t just missing they were straight up bricks. He looks terrified and doesn’t even look to shoot when he’s open. He can’t pass it quick enough.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s still ok as a defender having some versatility. I loved how versatile he was on defense in his prime. He could guard wing players and hold his on in the post.

There’s something wrong with his shot. Idk if it’s mental or mechanics. But he hasn’t been able to shoot since he got sick from Covid. It’s very telling because this guy used to be able to shoot 80-90% at the line. Now he’s a 70% shooter at the line.
