Probably 3-4.....

Everybody else mentioned was the best player and #1 option on their team and normally saw the opposing team's best defender. Klay has never been that. Great shooter though

What does "being the #1 option" have to do with anything?

Why is it ok to penalize a player simply because he has a great teammate?

My eyes say 2nd, but I would need to see him as the #1 option for a full season for me to give him that spot. Top-5 though

Well because if you don’t account for their teammates then players like Ray Allen get penalized for not having great teammates (until 2008)
