Klay Thompson

[jtoler]

klay would get 20+ on any team, moves well without the ball and can score some off the bounce and doesnt need any daylight to get his shot off and he makes those under duress. the fact that he's still putting up 22 a game with 2 other guys putting up 26 or more says a lot.

[DOM-Ganador]

He would be an integral part on any NBA team of any era.
He ain`t Curry or KD, but is a consistent, true professional that can go off some nights.

I would take him on my team over Westbrook all day , every day. No drama. Can actually put the ball in the basket with some regularity.
Puts team ahead of self.

RWB a tidy 5-21 in a huge HOME playoff game. And people here are ripping Klay.

[eidolon]

Lol he’s so underrated anyone who knows the game knows this is not remotely true.

I watch him all the time.
AND all stats point to him being far from being a defensive threat.

[messi0826]

What Klay needs most is to forget the pain of losing love, but winning every playoff may be a good way!

[jjgold]

good player that is all

some idiot team will throw lots of money at him..what a waste

[Conqueror]

One of the most selfless players in the NBA.
Scores and defends.
Puts team above self.

Those are the types of players you want on your team. Agreed.

Good player

Hall of famer

Never could be a number 1 option on a team though that is successful

Check out his NBA finals career stats.

Nothing special.

Melted down in several of those finals.

He is better then Carmelo Anthony though

[Goat Milk]

He is better then Carmelo Anthony though

Eh....

Melo was a 1 option his entire career.

Much better numbers than Klay.

Much better playoff numbers too.

Klay is more like a Ginobli. System player. Great player. But limited in what he can do.

Is Ginobli better than Melo?

Klay on some other team could just as easily be Danny Green (who sucked away from the Spurs). 3 point shooters who can't create their own shot need to be playing in the right situation.

If you put Klay Thompson on a team like the Knicks, they'd still suck.

Danny Green's highest scoring game was 33 points. Klay Thompson once scored 37 points in ONE QUARTER.

yea they arnt really that comparable, klay can score in multiple ways, back to the basket, coming downhill, contested shots, and off the dribble, off screens, klay has variety green usually is shooting catch and shoot 3's

[Outsider626]

Everyone forgets that he plays with 2 players on the same team who always require double team. This is why Klay is open and hit his open shots. On a team like Knicks or Cavs he would be average.

why do people always bring up double teams nobody doubles in the nba besides klay was still averaging 20+ before durant got there

The bottomline is if Klay Thompson is the best player on your roster, then you probably aren't getting out of the 1st round and most likely are a lottery team.

Put Jamal Murray on the Warriors, and the OP would probably think he was a top 5 player in the league. Playing 2 guard for the Warriors is probably the easiest position to play in the entire NBA. You got all the attention on Steph and Durant, and then you can run off a bunch of moving picks that Draymond Green sets which the league just allows.

[pilebuck13]

Lol I seen him play as a cougar and warrior don’t get much better as a basketball player all around

[Goat Milk]

Fact is he’s melted down in several NBA finals, which can’t be erased. He’s a hall of famer, but let’s settle down calling him better than Melo. That’s a disgrace. Klay could never carry a team on his back.

Lol goat your so high on melo he has done nothing his whole career

Melo certainly wouldn’t put up the numbers Klay did in the finals, not to mention Klay got shredded by Irving in several games. He’s a solid defender but he’s actually overrated on that end. You can’t give up 40 to a guy like Kyrie Irving and call urself one of the best defenders in the world. No. So yeah, I can’t just erase Klay’s finals history.
