No doubt. I'm just pointing out that his efficiency isn't THAT great. I think people still intuitively look at 60 %TS and go "Wow" when league average is 58 %TS

It's largely his weak free-throw rate I believe. Doesn't really get to the charity stripe that much

Warriors are what? 5-0 without Curry and Wiggins in their last games? Now with GP2 and when they'll both be back, the Warriors are a threat to everyone, so stacked that they dont even need their "arguably best" 2 players to make the playoffs and can beat everyone without them.

He scored 18 on 53% TS in the playoffs
In the Lakers series he scored 16 on 48% TS
That’s worse than Allen Iverson with half the volume

Yup. But if you look at how he produced at the championship level its weak. He's an elite shooter and decent man defender. Athletically totally sub par. No passing or playmaking game. If he wasn't on Golden State he'd be about as well known as Michael Redd.

People don't realize how bad he's shot in the playoffs when it mattered. He goes off once in a while but is generally like JR Smith level. And even JR could get hot.

Give Klay Tyus Jones, Mason Plumlee, Eric Gordon, and a healthy GP2. He leads that squad to the playoffs.
Some of his performances this year without Steph:
He also played 9 games without Steph last season.
Added all up, that's 25 games without Steph:
That's pretty similar to Maxey without Embiid.

Top 10.
Re: Klay Thompson 16 games without Steph: 26.7 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 2.6 apg on 59.33% TS
He should move to another team and see how he does next season.
