Kleiza at SG?
The Denverpost said today that Kleiza is a candidate for starting SG.
Is this good? The article said JR Smith, Kleiza, and Diawara were in the lead for the position.
I didn't even think that Kleiza was a candidate for SG. He can shoot, and he'd muscle the other SG's in the league, but is he quick enough? Is his shooting range deep enough?

Re: Kleiza at SG?
Everything I've read and heard says Karl loves Kleiza and I expect him to get at least 10 MPG, but I don't buy the starting SG spot. Diawara can defend the position very well and JR needs playing time.
Even though JR's defense is pretty poor, how much worse can the Nuggets be with him on the floor than with Boykins trying to guard Radmanovic in the playoffs?

Re: Kleiza at SG?
Don't bother trying to make sense out of Karl's nonsensical lineups. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

Re: Kleiza at SG?
Kleiza may not have a position. He should just be a match-up player.

Re: Kleiza at SG?
According to the RMN, Karl says he doesn't worry about positions, per se.
He says there's bigs, wings, and point guards. It kind of makes sense, really. As long as the wings are slashers and cutting and doing their thing, who cares who's classified as SG or SF? Kleiza scored 15 points last night and hit a 3...not bad.
Karl MUST know what he's doing a LITTLE bit...he just got signed for 3 more years.

Re: Kleiza at SG?
Karl doesn't know what he's doing? Right, like Denver's coaches over the last decade have?

anyway i agree the "position" thing is kinda overrated. if he can run like the wind and guard taller guards, it makes sense to me

No, Thomas and his guys weren't the only ones in the wrong Saturday. The Nuggets have their own issues. But when it was over, at least they weren't crying, at least they weren't punking.
It's all gone in New York now – the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.

Re: Kleiza at SG?
sure, but I don't think Kleiza or Melo are quick enough to guard all the 2 guards over there. JR Smith has the quickness, he just have to learn the technik, but Kleiza or Melo seeing big time at the 2 guard position would just make the opponent SGs kill us.

Re: Kleiza at SG?
Put Kleiza at shooting guard and wait for a disaster to happen.
We need shooting, Karl. No one cares about you trying to be a genius with obscure lineups.

Re: Kleiza at SG?
Kleiza has proven he can shoot during the World Championships, and like pac says, he's been great in preseason shooting the deep 3. I don't think he'll start, but he'll get playing time out htere to muscle smaller shooting guards at times.
I think he'll get mroe time at the 3, but maybe no more than 10 mpg total anyway.
I dont' think it's a big issue.
