    Well he couldn't dribble to save his life and he couldn't shoot well so I would say no, he wouldn't be top three in the NBA today. He could play D and he ran the floor great but that's about it.

    He'd be a good slasher, especially with the ball movement today. I see him as a top 10-15 player.

    Around 3rd best. Thompson is better, Harden is better. He would be like a Jimmy Butler with a shitty attitude.

    I'd take Spreewell over Thompson.

    Thompson is just as good as a defender or better. Thompson is a better scorer. Spreewell is a better distributor. It's close but I will take Thompson.

    Imagining Russell Westbrook and Latrell Sprewell in the same backcourt... there would be so much anger.

    I don't know how many warrior games you catch but I'll let you in on a little secret, Klay Thompson's defense is extremely legit.

    I've watched enough. We'll see in the playoffs. Im the type of guy that looks for impactful defense when it matters on good players. I've always thought Klays D was overrated, even old Kobe right before the Achilles innjury would score on him like it was nothing.

    He is a really good defender with good athleticism and is smart. But, he isn't Spreewell or other defenders of that quality. There are levels to this stuff and there are several levels above Klay on the perimeter.

    I don't think Klay is elite or anything, but I think the hype for his defense came because he did a decent job on CP3 in the playoffs. Or that's when I remember it starting.

    I remember CP3 being hurt and limping around playing on an overmatched team. The hype started before that.

    Harden vs GSW this year.

    11/8/2014 22points/7reb/7assit/5TO 8/24 FG% .333 FT 5/6

    01/7/2015 12points/4reb/4assist/3TO 4/15 FG% .267 FT 4/7



    Thompson was covering him both games. Shut him down.
