Point against the Kleber-Melli lineup. The guard/wing rotation cannot carry the entire scoring load. Two starters not scoring a single point would have been a big problem in most games. Richardson, THJ and Brunson all being hot in the same game is not something I would bet on in a playoff game.
Both good points. Of course Kleber with his NBA time at this point is not a big unknown as a shooter. Confidence should be that Maxi will be fine.
Mr. Melli still has the jury still out. If I'm reading his Euro league stats correctly it looks like he significantly improved his 3 point volume and accuracy there in recent seasons.
So there's that.
