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

[reserved_one]

Now, first off I doubt that Klay would actually leave Golden State given he got it made of not having any pressure and not dealing with any scrutiny.


But if he ever was...Y'all think he could take his game to another level and be like Kawhi is right now or would he be glorified #2 like Kyrie that can't lead a team to a championship?


I'm just intrigued by the thought and just wondering y'all thoughts

klay not leaving Golden State he can have games where he score 14 points, get zero blame and have a 40 point game the next night and be praised.


Plus: Klay dribbles like he played in the 1960's so I don't know about him being the number one option.

He'd be Michael Redd on the Bucks stats. Take that for however you will....

Outside of GSW system would expose him. I always chuckle when hearing analysts say he can be #1 somewhere else.

He can come to Denver and get his passes from Jokic

 

[He Who Posts Well]

He can come to Miami and get his passes from Winslow

 

[Sbp]

He can come to New Orleans and get his passes from Holiday

BETTER THAN HARDEN

Klay doesn’t have handles like Kawhi. His handle is below average for a star guard

He would have to work on that extensively to be a #1 option

He can go to Houston and watch Harden dribble.
