It’s why 66.5 percent of Kleber’s catch-and-shoot jumpers this season have been “unguarded,” per Synergy. Among all players — as in, the entire league — Kleber has taken the tenth-most unguarded catch-and-shoot jumpers with 93.
If we filter for the top 100 players by unguarded catch-and-shoot attempts, Maxi’s 1.495 PPP ranks seventh in the league.
Kleber was out down the stretch against Utah; and DFS and Wright chose to go at Gobert rather than take the open shot. It’s really as simple as that.
