Kleiza 'knows how to score'

--------------

"It's too early in training camp to project whether Linas Kleiza will play at small forward or at power forward. But it's not difficult to project the kind of impact Kleiza will have with these new-look Raptors when the ball gets in his hands.

 

No player did more offensively in knowing how to get his shot off and score than Kleiza during Sunday's open scrimmage, an event that drew a modest crowd but one that did provide the first glimpse of the Raptors in a game setting.

 

"He just knows how to score,'' head coach Jay Triano said of Kleiza. "The bottom line is that he has a nose for the basketball."

 

Kleiza led his side to a resounding 50-33 win, making seven of his 10 shots to lead all players with 15 points.

 

"It was a good first scrimmage,'' Kleiza said. "Our goal is to get better every day. We play the right way and play together and we can have a lot of fun."

[Check my Stats]

Ain't that the truth, he looked a lot better than I thought he was.

[Clutch]

didnt he drop 40 or 50 a couple years back with the nuggets? - you have to have some ability offensively to do that in the NBA, of course he wont do that too often in his career, but that wasnt a complete fluke. He will be great for the raptors

[Dr. Feelgood]

He dropped 41 against the Jazz.

 

I've always thought he was underrated in the past for the Nuggets, I just didn't know he was this underrated. I think he'll be able to drop in about 15+ a game for the Raps this year.

[Multi-Billionaire]

If Kleiza ever averages 15+ ppg in his career, this is the season. If not, it's never.
