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

Did you watch Klay Thompson against Houston in Game 1? :dahell:

That's one game...

People need to stop being hung up on one game...

Klay Thompson is averaging 14 pts 3 rebs against Houston..

He averaged 19 pts on 38 FG and 28 3FG against the Pelicans...

He's been ass this entire playoffs besides the Spurs series...he sucks...he was ass last year...he averaged only 15 points...

He was great in 2015-2016 Playoffs and decent 2014-2015 Playoffs (though he was shyt in the finals)...

Klay only shows up in the 1st round and he'll drop 23 to 25 pts for the entire round and play like shyt for every other round and people will just remember that one time he dropped 20 in a quarter or some shyt...

Durant has been carrying GSW offensively with little to no help. Curry shows up only for the 3rd quarter. Klay Thompson just hangs out on the fukking corners and Draymond can't shoot for shyt.

As of right now, according to basketball reference 74% of klay's FGs are assisted and a whopping 93% of his 3pointers are assisted meaning he can't create his own shot and needs someone to set up his offense. Only boston/miami ray (when he was older) is similiar to prime klay thompson in terms of how their shots are created.

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.

Im playing the % with this one. Give em a few more minutes and shots, getting a game for him is doable. How effective he'd be is another subject tho

He went off that game because of the Rockets defensive lapses. He was hitting wide open shots off of botched rotations. Ever since the Rockets locked in defensively from Gm. 2 onwards he's been real quiet.

Steph and KD need to have near perfect nights for this team to consistently win because there's just too many inconsistent players for them on offense. Just really makes you appreciate what Steph was able to do during that 2015-16 season

He'd be better suited as a 2nd option .. He can dribble lol. He just don't have fancy dribble moves.. He hits off the dribble jumpers as consistently as anybody.

But if you put him on a random wack team with no offensive system in place. And put him Iso and expect him to flourish. Not happening

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.
disrespectful to Reggie...
:dahell:
Led his team to the playoffs on multiple occasions as the main scoring option for a decade plus...

Still didn’t have defense and relied on off ball movement to score. I’m not discrediting Reggie. Nothing I said was a lie

Klay is a better shooter imo and a bit more athletic.... remember Reggie’s infamous layup that was blocked?
