Is Klay Thompson a system player?

[imnew09]

Playing under Kerr system( similar to Pop), with Currry running the show. His passing skills is not that great, got that Ray Allen run run shoot type of shot. I feel Klay is not much of a versatile volume scorer, rather a Ray Allen type of scorer.


Anyways, Hawks and GSW = Overrated AF, 2nd round exit at best

Since he was already a good player with Mark Jackson, no.
You see, shooters will thrive in every system you put them on.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Ray Allen in his prime was a more versatile scorer, and a legit #1 option. Also a better play maker/facilitator than Klay

Everyone's a system player to some extent.

Klay is beyond a system player even if playing next to Steph is one of the grandest luxuries a SG could fathom.

There's no such thing as a system players. Everyone has different skills sets, and some coaches or rosters accentuate certain players.

Klay has a quick, accurate shot. He's quick for his size with a decent off the dribble repertoire. Really good defender. What kinda of team wouldn't make a guy like that look good? There's no "system" that doesn't need Perimeter guys who can shoot.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I hate this kind of analysis. What is a system player and what about Thompson makes him more of a system player than the next shooting guard?

[Natureland]

Why is "system player" still used as some sort of insult?

[oarabbus]

Well Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr ran entirely different systems so...

[jongib369]

So in chess an expierenced players Queen would be a "System" piece? The abilities of the piece are the same so why knock it for being properly utilized?

[I<3NBA]

if i'm a coach, i'll want system players much more than i want a superstar.

I wish Klay Thompson was on our team. We don't have much of a system, but he would be a better fit than our current SG, Andre Roberson.

[EnoughSaid]

Klay is one of the best shooters in the league, great defender and rebounder. He can run the floor and finish and can also sometimes create his own shot. He is not any type of system player. The 2nd best SG in the league is not a system player.

Klay obviously has the talent to be on any team. He may be in an ideal situation, but he would be great anywhere.

Exactly..

His game/skillset transfers over to any team
