Dude has really improved his game. His defense has vastly improved. He has also improved his post game and getting to the free throw line. I initially thought Kevin Martin was his max potential. However, his overall game right now is already better than peak Kevin Martin. What is his max potential?

Re: Klay Thompson's potential.
Curry is the greatest shooter and Klay will be close. Warriors are the best team when all healthy.

Re: Klay Thompson's potential.
More like Jared Dudley..
If you defend him will put double team and trap, I don't think Klay can even score a single point

Re: Klay Thompson's potential.
Pleasantly impressed that Klay learned how to dribble, drive to the basket, and make layups this year (he couldnt do that last year). Put on a little more weight and he could really use that height advantage to go to work smaller shooting guards.
Not a bad defender either. Might be higher on him than Barnes at this point.

Klay is a king, think not. Why be a king when you can be a God?

being able to score against double teams/traps isnt that valuable a skill Originally Posted by Pacquiao
being able to find the open man when you get doubled is a much more important skill

Re: Klay Thompson's potential.
He's already a top 5 SG in the NBA at the age of 24. Outside of maybe Harden there isn't another SG in the NBA I would take going forward.

Re: Klay Thompson's potential.
He can be a top 3 SG in the league once Kobe and Wade are out. He's very tall and shoots it so well combined with being a good defender - but he will probably always lack a little in his driving/vision/passing/ball handling game compared to the best SG's
