5 Dallas Mavericks players whose stock has crashed this preseason

3. Maxi Kleber

Maxi Kleber has not played a preseason game yet, but the fact that he is missing more time with a different injury only plummets his stock even more than it did last season and playoffs. Kleber remains a great role player when healthy for the Mavs, but that has been his biggest struggle over the last few seasons.

Kleber just can't stay healthy, and it's only seeming to get worse after he suffered an ankle sprain during training camp.

With another injury getting added on top of Kleber's lengthy injury history, his value will only go down. He is entering the second year of his three-year, $33 million contract, and potentially starting the year on the bench is not ideal for either side.

Last season for Dallas, Kleber averaged 4.4 points per game while shooting 34.8 percent from downtown. This was a down year for Kleber and it was derailed by injuries as he only played in 43 games.

The injury concern briefly disappeared in last season's playoffs as he shot the ball extremely well against the LA Clippers, but a shoulder injury kept him out until the end of the Western Conference Finals. Once he returned, he seemed to have no confidence in his jumper because of his shoulder and didn't make much of an offensive impact.

Kleber being injured right now could quietly make a big impact due to the Mavs' lack of depth at power forward, and his impact is bigger than most fans realize.
