Maybe he has in practice. He won’t be in the regular rotation yet when everyone is healthy. But if he makes it easy for Kidd look for minutes for him, than that is a nice step.
Agreed on all the above, but...
If Kidd has decided that Kleber's only real use is as the backup 4 (I hope not, but if) then all of a sudden he's pretty expensive for a 10-12 minutes per night role ON TOP of all the injury concerns and inconsistent offensive play. I imagine the leap from there to "let's give the kid a chance" might not look so big to a front office trying to shed salary smartly.
