How much longer before Klay Thompson gets his props as a top notch defender?

[Hammer]

he's actually considered a pretty weak defender

 

[FaTaL]

he has quicker feet on defense then offense

i think his height also bothers those lil pgs

i have to say his defense is a surprise, hes really not super athletic he just bothers people

Hard to disagree.

Thompson + Dwight + Irving = Next Laker dynasty.

Lakers always gotta try and build super teams

But the Warriors weren’t missing Thompson’s to-die-for jumper. They were missing his defense. As soon as he came out, San Antonio guard Tony Parker took over the game.
Thompson has become Golden State’s defensive stopper. His ability to play on-ball defense keeps the Warriors from having to switch and double-team, a big bonus for Golden State’s scheme. He has been especially adept at defending smaller quicker point guards. He was effective slowing down Denver’s Ty Lawson. Monday against the Spurs, he gave Parker fits.

Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.

His defensive skills give two advantages to the Warriors, both of which played out in Game 1. First, it relieves Curry, the catalyst of the Warriors’ offense, of the tougher defensive assignment. Second, it prevents the guards from breaking down the defense by drawing help defenders and double teams. Because the Warriors don’t have to help so much when Thompson is guarding Parker, the offense has fewer openings in the Warriors’ defense to exploit.

With no Thompson, Parker was able to penetrate, forcing the Warriors to help on defense. That created a domino effect that put the Warriors into scramble trying to cover the open man.

why? cause he light-skin

I knew dude was official when he guarded Kobe that second time in GS. Dude was giving the gawd fits defensively and was awesome offensively.

He can become a all-star caliber player if he improves his ability to put the ball on the floor.

It takes a real man to admit that on the Coli. These nikkas have too much pride to admit they was wrong about anything sports related.
