It would be hilarious to watch Klay Thompson be the 1st option on another team

A happy-go-lucky Bruce Bowen or Reggie Millier without responsibilities. You decide.

He’s basically a light skinned version of current Ray Allen. He needs to improve his handle

Reggie is def his best comparison cause of the way he’s able to create his own shot by off ball movement. He’s legit a better version of Reggie miller. Has Defense which Reggie lacked. I wouldn’t say ray, Ray was a bit more athletic and could hold his own with his dribble.

what does first option really mean though? not shyt unless you are an all time great that can carry a team. KD is a first option scorer but he cant carry no team. Steph is the only true first option on the Warriors because he truly makes his team better by his presence and ballhandling alone. Klay and Draymond are barely 2nd or 3rd options, but they can improve most teams in the league more than adding a so-called first option scorer (chucker).

Not sure why people try to bring dude down. He plays his role and wins at life. Nobody calling him a leader or goat or all time great. Dude is living the dream.

Nobody is bring dude down...we are talking about his lackluster playoff performance...dude has been ass since the Spurs series.

KD MADE A FINALS
AND WENT TO 4 WCF BY THE AGE OF 27.

IN WHAT WORLD CANT HE CARRY A TEAM?

TC, Ap
if IT and Derozan can, surely Thompson could or get damn near close

All those guys can create their own shot. They get the rock on the wing in iso at the end of the clock they can create a good look. They can also be the ball handler in a pick and roll. Klay gets 90% of his shots with no dribbles off of passes. Name another star #1 option with that profile. Even early Ray Allen was creating off the dribble. Dirk had the mid post game.
