Klay stats: 21.7 pts , 3.6 reb, 2.1 assist 47/37/88 shooting Gordon stats: 18.3 pts, 2.8 reb, 2.8 assist 45/51/69 shooting Everyone be like: Klay is better than Harden, but is he even better than Gordon. Given that Gordon is better defender, better at getting to the rim, and better team player (can create for others, unlike Klay). And can create his own shot.
We do have a thread on this deeply buried http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/eric-gordon-vs-klay-thompson.279173/
1. Gordon is better defender - WRONG. 2. better at getting to the rim - WRONG. 3. and better team player (can create for others, unlike Klay) - WRONG. 4. And can create his own shot - WRONG.
Gordan is actually a better player than Klay. More accurate from 3 and a far better playmaker. Klay is solid himself. He'll likely be offered a max by another team honestly.
Who said Klay is better then Harden? Maybe a couple of idiots, but I don't see how everyone says that.
Put Klay thompson on a trash team and he will suck. Put gordon on GSW team and curry will be benched.
dude their were some posters here who thought that( their is a big ass harden vs. klay thread buried deep in this site), and with klay making all-nba over harden( crazy i know). their were legit people in the media who thought the same thing.
Me and @Von Rafer had a conversation about this the other day. We just think Gordon didn't get enough touches in New Orleans
I'd rather have Thompson just cause of his age, he's an amazing role player. Would be great to create spacing for Harden. It is pretty bad that Thompson can only manage 2 assists starting next to Durant and Curry on a team where the PG doesn't hold the ball a lot.
Harden would make Gordon look better here than he does in GS. Gordon is a better ball handler and passer but defensively there the same talent wise but klay is a lot bigger at damn near 6'8 so he gets the nod there. But I'll take either guy as my 3pt shooter there both amazing.
