    I have known Klay for a long time. We grew up playing against eachother in AAU.

    He is much more physical than Roy, as he is a very solid post up SG/SF. That said, his off the dribble/ pick and roll game (which Roy thrives on) is not nearly as polished.

    I would love to see him in a Rocket uni, though. Very talented...

    I only saw him play a couple times last season, but the way he plays, his body type and his skill set remind more of Kevin Martin than Brandon Roy. Klay I think is a better play maker than Martin was coming out of college, but as far as play making ability, I think Klay is closer to Martin than Roy -- that being one of the things that set Roy apart.

    Watching his highlight video reminds me of a guard version of DeMarcus Cousins.

    If Klay Thompson can hit clutch shots... It will be a nice addition to the team
