InterBasket > Player Profiles > Linas Kleiza, Lithuania   Yahoo! Sports: It was assumed, after Kleiza was drafted, that he would probably be headed for Europe or a stint in the NBDL considering the talent and veteran-stacked Nugget frontline. Yet after his summer league performance, coach George Karl came away impressed enough to bring him into camp and even suggested Linas might be able to help the team this year... it's doubtful he'll make an impact this year. The sad fact is the Nuggets' frontcourt packed with talent (Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby, Nene, Eduardo Najera), and there just aren't enough minutes to go around.
