Good for the Blazers. That was a terrible signing anyway

 

[KnickstapeCity]

cause a player is dominant at it? shouldnt that instead boost the value of the player?

I'm on the block like D12.

Im gonna have to disagree with you. Klay dropped 60 in 3 quarters, 37 in a quarter and 40 in 20 mins. Curry when hot should be scarier because of his skillset, but he doesnt explode the way klay does IMO

Klay's scoring outbursts are more explosive, but Steph's are more consistent

Thats due to how both plays..


Steph has greenlight on any shots..and gets screens setup for him more often

Klay has to fight through screens


But its not steph fault..its the position they play

It's funny that I haven't seen the "LeBron is gonna be trash when he loses his athleticism" criticism in a long time

Klay could have the greenlight and can also get on-ball screens set for him but he's a limited ball handler they're average at best. That's why you see him scoring 60 on just 11 dribbles when he's hot he's unstoppable off-ball with his movement and the screens he gets and a nightmare shooting on the break.

if him and steph drible a lot.. the ball will stop and make it easy on the defense..
i think klay when locked in is the more deadly shooter as his catch and shoot is the best in the nba..

but the amount of drible he takes is basically because he plays SG the way it is meant to .. fight through screens .. scramble the defense.. be an outside thread and stretch the floor.

PG is under contract next season

That's because he's still athletic AF. Going from the top 1% most athletic to the top 5% most athletic ain't really a drop off.

An athlete of that magnitude with that high of a BB IQ will continue to adjust his game to age well. I think when LeBron's skills conk out to the point where he can't be LeBron anymore, he'd rather retire than stick around.

Agreed, but the trolls were talking about how he had no skills a couple years go and now we see how well he's adjusting his game (which I never had any doubt about) and the criticism has disappeared. Dude can be an effective player as long as he wants tbh. He'll retire before he stops being a star though.

These dudes look like they should have done the new edition story ......
