Is Klay Thompson going to be a top 3 SG this season?

[avonbarksdale]

Harden Offense B Defense F
Derozan Offense C+ Defense C
Ellis Offense B Defense D
Wade Offense B Defense D
Thompson Offense B- Defense B-


So yes.

Also, for scale..

Melo/Durant/LeBron are offensive A's

Allen/Brow are defensive A's

derozan 23pts 4 assists c+
klay 18pts 2 assists b-

???

I expect Klay's usage rate and overall stats to increase under Kerr's new offense. Just imagine Curry, Klay, and Lee operating in a Spurs-like motion offense.

[Legends66NBA7]

I'd take Klay over every 2guard in the association, unless EJ makes a fierce comeback, of course.

Why do you say that ?

Throw in Bogut, Iggy, and Green's great passing too

what about the dude that led the league in triple doubles last season?

2014 SG's and SF's are the worst OAT

No.

Good topic OP, Klay is definitely gonna be a top 3 SG.

I'd rather have him over Harden personally but I can obviously see why some people would put him as #1. Unlike Harden, Klay cannot carry an entire team on his back offensively, other than once in a while when he gets hot.


But luckily he plays next to Curry

1) Kobe (Assuming Health)
2) Wade (Assuming Health)
3) Harden
4) Thompson
5) J. Johnson

Really missing Brandon Roy right now. He'd be better than Harden, and true heir to Kobe / Wade's throne.

I think in a couple years Lance could be the heir

This times 100. I dont think hed be better than current harden though. It sucks that the top 5 is really dependant on longevity of the older stars. I wish Kobe and Wade a good year. Even as a nets fan on a consistency level JJ is not a top 5 shooting guar.

[Paul George 24]

He looked really good in the tournament and now that Wade and Kobe are older I think hes the second best sg behind Harden.

I predict the finals will be Warriors vs Cleveland

nice joke
worriors is not going to beat the spurs,stop dreaming

By default.

I think Roy given his career arch, and how good it was before injury he'd be better. Easily. He had a mid range game, something that allows you to deliver in the playoffs. Where Harden goes MIA when team's actually defend threes, and no easy layup / foul calls.

I definitely think Roy would've been better. Hell, look at that one performance in 2011 playoffs v.s. Dallas on no knees, when he was nagged with injuries the entire year. Better than anything Harden has ever done in the post season.

But JJ's best IMO is better than Kimbo Slice, Klay, and recent post 2013 Wade. His performance carrying Brooklyn offensively in this past seasons playoffs, against LeBron's man defense at times was more than enough proof of that as far as I'm concerned.

I have concerns about Lance Stephenson's mental game, and his stamina to be the guy like that for Charlotte. Iggy still is a defensive beast, but suspect offensively. The only other hopes in terms of young guys are Oladipo, and Waiters. But with LeBron / Kyrie and Love ... I don't see much room for growth given his playing style unless he goes elsewhere.

BTW if we classify Westbrook as a SG, which he is, he'd be number 1 on my list right now. He's not a true PG. Not a good decision maker.

theres some guys in college that could help out.

I really like Wayne Selden. He reminds me of Wade with Lebron's passing+hops.

Joe Johnson plays SF now.
