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

[Cold soul]

You know what? It isn't even a bad question. It's actually a legitimate one depending on how Kobe or Wade plays next year.

And that's pretty sad.

You know what? You're right and I hate to admit it being huge fan of both.

harden
kobe
wade/derozan

Totally depends on Kobe and Wade coming back. If those two come back at 85% of what they were at their peak, they will be right there with Harden. Thompson could be number four after that. While Thompson is killing it in the two way sense, he isn't the passer that Kobe, Wade, or Harden is. He is a better defender than Harden though, but Harden is clearly an alpha dog level guy who can play three positions.

I think Thompson has potential alpha dog ability in the Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, and Dale Ellis mold. But he's a better defender than those guys so the sky is the limit in terms of what he can acheive in his peak years. But don't sleep on Bradley Beal in Washington though in the upcoming years. He reminds me of a young Mitch Richmond!

[kurple]

He's already the best 2-way SG in the game right now..

[Cocaine80s]

agreed. Beasley is on an entirely different level

[dr.hee]

No love for Monta Ellis?

[Inferno]

Hopefully.

[All Net]

No reason why not.

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

[Jlamb47]

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

I would say Harden Offense is a A

25+ points and 6+ assist thats definetly an A

[qrich]

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

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

[Milbuck]

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

No.

[Warfan]

Hopefully.

Yeah, it's possible since the top level talent at the position isn't great right now. To me he was a bit too inconsistent offensively last year even though he started playing better leading in to the playoffs. I'm expecting some improvements and a big year from him if the Warriors are gonna be a contender.
