pretty damn hard to pick imo.
― Spottie, Friday, 24 February 2017 16:59 (two years ago) Permalink
not that hard imo, golden state's roster serves to underrate klay and overrate draymond. put draymond on an average team and ppl would talk about him roughly like how they talk about steven adams.

imo if you put klay on a bad team he puts up an empty 24-25 ppg. if anyone is a system player it is he. the warriors system works because of drays versatility not the other way around
― k3vin k., Friday, 24 February 2017 17:08 (two years ago) Permalink
Klay is one of the best shooters in the league and a serviceable perimeter defender. Dray is a better defender and a worse shooter (significantly) who can do more things on the court tho i think his 3 pt ability is perhaps more significant given his position and who he guards. i think if u put both of them on teams w league avg dudes, klay's team would put up more than wins, and generally speaking i think klay's skillset is more generally valuable so i vote Klay

dray is an all world defender but a far below average scorer and a good playmaker where people think hes great cause hes playing with great players to playmake with

i think he might have a thing for kicking people in the nuts . not sure if that's a pos or a neg tho

draymond has only kicked someone in the nuts once tbf

draymond is no offensive superstar but he has a serviceable three point shot and is one of the best playmaking bigs in the game

klay is elite at one of the most important skills in the NBA but i agree that on a middling team he'd be mostly empty points, gimme dray's all around game and crazy intensity

his playmaking is good but no one wld be talking abt it if he wasnt playing with guys who constantly create the halfcourt fast break, like he cant take advantage of ppl going under on the pnr cause hes not a good enough shooter etc, hed have 4-5 assists a game on a normal team, and lets be clear on his scoring hes shooting 43% and scoring 10 a game in a situation where he gets more open looks than anyone else in the entire nba, hes is bad at doing points

the warriors shd be given credit for coming up with a great system for their players, the difference between the jackson years and now is lol, but there are a lot of players that cld work in drays spot the system wld just have to shift, which isnt that hard to do when you have the talent they do

idk we can do the "on a bad team" thing all day, if draymond is on a bad team he's putting up like a 13/8/4 with lousy shooting percentages. he plays great in their system but his teammates are literally the best shooters in the league so i'm not sure how much he's elevating them further.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 24 February 2017 18:32 (two years ago) Permalink
i think we can all agree that most of his value is on the other side of the ball regardless, hes great at lots of different defensive things

something for everyone here
“You know what, Steph Curry has took a step back,” Rodman said. “And it’s cool. It’s actually cool because if you see his game now, I always said with that Golden State team, I always say one thing: that one player is the player right there that makes that team. Who is that player?…“That is right there: Thompson,” Rodman said. “That kid right there is good. If he went to another team, he’d suck. What I’m saying is that Klay Thompson makes that team. Everybody’s always worried about Curry. I know Curry’s dad and all that bulls—. But Klay Thompson makes that team. It ain’t Green, that guy, no. It’s Klay Thompson.”

hes def kinda a basketball genius, tho not smart enough to not do a full crouch when shooting idk why its always this way with basketball geniuses, anyway i dont see his style of play having great longevity regardless, i mean hell still be around and people prob wont even notice hes dropped off cause what he does isnt as obvious as like being an elite scorer, but he will have dropped off still
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 20:07 (one year ago) Permalink
hes already 27 kinda crazy, came into the league old
he has a david west/zach randolph type body. those guys are built to last. he doesn't have their scoring skill but he'll play for as long as he wants i think.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 24 October 2017 20:09 (one year ago) Permalink
yeah but those guys didnt build their game around insane switching defense, although west was certainly a very good defender in his day he was never a guard 1-5 type (which is never actually true!) (unless yr kevin garnett)

anyway im not saying that hell be out of the league just that based on his style of play hell prob have a shorter peak than say a great shooter would

theres a good chance weve already seen his peak peak

ive said before he deserved the dpoy, but on the other hand klay is one of the best shooters to ever play and has the fastest release in the whole nba according to the science website 538.com, shooting is considered an important nba skill and to my understanding he does some other stuff decently too

Klay Thompson is known as “The Electrician” in China, a nickname that – with the backing of his shoe company, Anta – has caught on in recent weeks in a country where the usually mild-mannered All-Star has embraced a different, bathing-in-a-tub-of-gold-sneakers persona. Thompson has begun to embrace the blue-collar moniker, which he earned because of his ability to energize an arena with his timely, titillating shotmaking
