Another year of Mavericks basketball is approaching, and while many things have changed, we can continue to count on Dallas trotting out a tall baller from Wurzburg, Germany. Dirk Nowitzki is gone, but Maxi Kleber enters his third year in the NBA coming off a season in which he averaged 6.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and a little more than one block per game while shooting a respectable 35 percent from three on three attempts per night.
Kleber’s emergence as a high-energy big man allowed him to parlay himself into a four-year; $36 million deal this summer.
