How would Klay Thompson fair as a #1 option on another team?

[yeyeye]

He can't be 1st option, he'd fit in well on the lakers if they retained lonzo though. Camping on the perimeter as lebron drives or lonzo sets him up ,the defense on that backcourt would be nice to see.

 

[Kings County]

we wont know till he leaves
he benefits from that system right now

 

[Sccit]

you call me a casual after posting this nonsense?

someone neg this dude for me.

U DONT UNDERSTAND BASKETBALL BEYOND WHAT ESPN TELLS U

 

[Shadow King]

Klay is who he is I don't think he'll leave GS to be #2 to somebody else and I think he knows he's not a #1.

 

[-DMP-]

His handles would have to go in the hyperbolic time chamber

 

[killacal]

Klay could be a number 1 just not in the traditional work horse fashion.

It depends on how they use him, he would kill it in a reggie Miller role with any competent team.


Imagine the clippers squad this year with klay coming off screens

 

[Black Bolt]

Like Kyrie, not every player is built to be a #1. His value as a #2 far surpasses his worth as the man.

Clay Thompson can never be a number 1 option because like you and other cacs, he doesn't know how to penetrate and dribble at an nba star level. you either trolling or you think we still playing in the 50s

I don't even watch tv let alone espn you dumb shyt, I watch streams

 

[bigrodthe1]

But all he needs is the right organization that plays to his strengths as well as a supporting cast and it could work

C/S This.Man the Warriors hate on this board is pathetic Klay would be like Ray Allen or Rip Hamilton with more range. Players like him will ALWAYS find a way to be involved. This dude is a CHAMPION and cats really think he would go somewhere else and just turn to shyt.
other than has any other major player from a championship squad went and been super on another squad

he cant create his own shot so you already know.

and early in this season steph curry was injured klay steppend in as the 2nd option..he got 1st option look when kd was on the bench for rest and it was ugly.

 

[Ben.]

Could not be a #1 option but definitely a #2

He averaged 26 on 45/45/88 before the Finals in 2016

[Jplaya2023]

Lets see

Cant dribble
Cant consistently create his own offense
Cant create for others

He would be food

 

[ghostwriterx]

He's really taken another step this season, with creating off the dribble for himself and others. With that said, his handle/vision is still average at best. It would take a perfect system/situation to make it work. Think Rip on the Pistons or Reggie with the Pacers. Even then you're probably talking second round as your ceiling.
