Part of me wants to agree, because I don't think anything you said is incorrect.
Part of me expects Kleber to be much better next year, with the experience he gained this season.
Agree. I am a big Maxi fan. He is without a doubt the best defender on the roster. Just needs to be moved to his natural role as a small ball big instead of being asked to guard perimeter players all game long. He also needs to improve his consistency. He had absolutely incredible games this season vs Zion or Siakam. I think he blocked Zion 5 times in the same game. Problem is that he also had some really mediocre games. Especially on offense.
