Why don't we talk about Kleiza anymore?

What's good everybody? so i was watching the game the other day against the clippers, and was thinking about our squad in my mind. Then i remembered that Linas Kleiza was a part of the team, does anyone know whats going on with him, or why Matt and them dont talk about him anymore? I find it weird that he hasn't been mentioned in a while.

Just curious.

1) He had microfracture surgery and will be out for a year

2) He sucks

Hard to talk about a guy on the sidelines. The only thing they can really talk about him is his injury, and I dont think people wanna hear Leo mention his injury about 20x a game.

He stinks. Or at least he did this season. Either way he's probably never going to get the starting SF spot back.

what's there to talk about other than him chucking shots and sucking on defense.

He was a decent bench player with Denver. Actually I think he was a fan favorite as well with them for a season or two, IIRC.

The Raptors just don't know how to utilize Euro players in their right roles -- Hedo, Bargs, Jose, Klieza, Marco, etc.

Some great replies here, lol. But seriously though, hope he has a speedy recovery.

Kleiza is actually more suited for an energy, hustle player -- diving for looose balls, being THAT energy guy on the court for the Raptors. Occasionally he'll drop 20+ points, but he should NOT be a primary scoring option. Something like Chris "Birdman" Andersen does for the Nuggets off the bench.

He should have stayed in Denver.

unfortunately Kleiza believes otherwise.
