The Mavs signed him of course because they know what we all saw during the NBA Finals.

They need more consistent outside shooting.

They didn’t have it in the Finals and they simply couldn’t keep pace with the Celtics shooting.

A once great shooter and 1x All NBA Defender was washed.

If Klay had struggled, the internet would have eaten him alive.

This performance tonight is really all the Mavs are going to be asking of him.

Get to your spots, find space, and shoot it with confidence.

Sometimes your time has simply run out on your current team and you need a new situation.

Why can’t that be the case here with Klay and the Mavs?

Without it, I’m not sure the Mavs have enough to get back to the Finals.

But if they get the ideal scenario and things work out on both ends exactly how the Mavs hoped?

Well then things get a little more interesting.

It also has to feel great for Klay to have a night like this for a debut.
