JV at World Cup 2014

Great media experts here at realgm!
Kleiza was fine too, just too slow, wasn't he?

Kleiza was a good signing by BC at that time, the problem was that he got injured before the season even started and it was a pretty bad injury and he wasnt the same ever since. You could say oh but euro leagues level is weaker so it just illustrates the league difference but its not the truth - after his time with Raptors he went back to Europe and is playing like crap there too. He clearly is not the same as he was pre-injury.

The Denver Nuggets Kleiza would be a very solid role player on a playoff team, or a borderline starter on a lottery team.

The Toronto Raptors Kleiza isn't really an NBA player.



Couldn't resist posting the obligatory Kleiza gif

Kleiza is not playing like crap in the Euroleague. He was a great scorer of the bench this past season, kinda like Euroleagues Jamal Crawford.

The reason why he sits on the bench so much is not to provide spark off there but because if his piss-poor defence which is bad. Obradovich was always a strict, defense first coach thats why he has low tolerance for the players like Kleiza or Bjelica. Kleiza while on Denver wasnt that bad defensively - I remember he could shut down Kobe at times as Kobe really didnt like playing against taller players and back then Kleiza could play multiple positions as he was agile enough.

Well, I am not saying Kleiza is some kind of star, but he is not crap. Thats what I am saying. He is still good for scoring, his scoring rates are very high. He is a good bench player, one of the better ones in the Euroleague IMO.

30 minutes till the game Lithuania vs Greece

[UcanUwill]

Jonas versus Bourousis. Should be interesting.

[AK47MVP]

All I care now is how his foot is holding up. I'd rather him play reduced minutes and make sure he is 100% healthy for the World cup.

Jonas versus Bourousis. Should be interesting.
