Klay takes on the other teams top perimeter player, you're taking that out of the equation. Check some D stats between Klay and say Harden, yule C harden edging. That's cause Harden guards Roberson and Klay guards WB. Or think of us. Klays on Harden, Hardens on Iggy. Advanced stats=gimmick. SIL
It's been that way for years now, even Pistons 4 got in. Did you wake up and watch basketball yesterday? SIL
Chris Paul: WS/48: .274 BPM: +8.0 TS%: 60.6% Klay Thompson: WS/48: .109 (pathetic for an all-star, his lowest since his sophomore year) BPM: -0.1 (Makes his team WORSE) TS%: 60.3% (embarrassing for a guy who gets all his offense created for him)
This is absurd! The second best team only has 1 all-star? We should have at least 3, including Capela.
So do Butler, Giannis, Wall, Oladipo, Lebron , Lowry. Yet they aren't that low in the graph. And the defence of their team is much lower than GSW's. The fact that GSW had a top 5 defence, and Klay's points saved are in the negatives is a clear cut proof of how bad he has been this year. Transplant him in an average team, and it would be MUCH worse.
Hell I would be happy if Harden had a “sore back” and watched from home. No reason his body should log 1 minute for this farce.
LeBron rarely guards the other teams best, Middleton does for Bucks, Jimmy you're right but you're talking Thibs system, Wall does not guard the other teams best player and neither do Victor or Kyle. Basically, you just stated absolute bullshit. Try again. SIL
Harden should protest the game for snubbing Paul and Capela. I don't watch the game, but I DVR the Saturday events. Looking forward to Gordon defending his three-point world championship.
Except you watch Rockets run pick and roll and Harden attacking everyone else except Klay. So how would that affect his rating. I also saw Harden get the game saving block two games in a row. The only difference between Hardens defense and Klay Thompson’s defense is that Harden has to carry the load on offense and saves energy, while Klay doesn’t do anything on offense other than Spot up so he can play defense. Hardens defense was really good when he played on OKC. I saw him lock down Kobe multiple times, it’s not a fluke his defense is better this year with CP taking some of his offensive burden. Klays gotta be one of the most overrated players in NBA history. He basically Vernon Maxwell solid on defense and gets hot on offense every now and then and as much as I love Vernon Maxwell, not sure he was an all star.
Chris paul, the allstar MVP from (2014? I think?) is snubbed and klay „i can shoot threes but do nothing else“ thompson gets voted in. Lmao
Lol, there's this thing called "switching" - have you heard of it? Klay is probably the third best defensive piece on his own team...at best. Nothing to sneeze at but the linchpin of the Warriors defense is Durant with Green being probably second now.
I'm sure someone will sit out with injury and then of course CP3 will get in. (or they really do hate us and they put Lou in over CP3)
That's fair, but to picture him as a bad defender or overrated is bullshit. But I agree, he's third best. KD is excellent, Dray is DPOY. SIL
