Harden is better now but Klay got the higher ceiling. Harden relies on flopping his way to the free throw line and the NBA is cracking down on it. Dude already has two flopping violations this early in the season. Klay's pure stroke (pause) and his improvement as a ball handler is much more valuable than a guy who's a one trick pony. Either way Harden's gonna have to change his game up and cut down on the flopping.
Not to mention the defensive disparity. Klay had 3 blocks last night, one of them was blocking a Kevin Durant jumper :ohlawd: compare that to Hardens shytty defense and it's close than most would think.

Fair point.
Just saying. Klay is playing in. Paradise right now. Arguably the most talent starting lineup( I still say Miami). In the backcourt with a great shooter so teams can't zone up and he don't have to worry about dbl teams. Plays with a probably the best overall passing team in the league, So he always will get good looks

You know all this is minute until klay does what harden did or Kmart and become the main option of his team. I like to see klay leave the shadow of steph and see what his numbers look like as the man.
Reggie and Ray both were the "man" on their teams and they killed by coming off screens on open jumpers. Klay is more versatile than both of them because he can back guys down.

Ray does every thing klay can do besides prolly post up and had better handles. Ray could take you off the dribble and could finish at the rim better.

But all the comparison don't mean shyt until at shows it for a whole season. Potential and ceiling don't mean shyt if you don't meet them. And klay has t met shyt yet. A career 43% shooter.

Neither has Paul George yet he's an MVP candidate. Klay is making the same ascension this season that Paul George did last season. This is his 3rd season just like it was PG's last season.

Yep. Dude thinks just because Harden flops and get fouled a lot makes up for his lack of defense. I'll give Harden credit, he's the best in the league in getting to the paint after Tony Parker that is. But he's a horrid defender which is half of the game. And he's shooting 28% from outside while Klay is shooting 50%.

And Jordan drafted fukking Bismack Biyombo. :mjpls:

Hard times as a Bobcats supporter. Hawd timez!
Don't feel bad, 9 other teams besides the Bobcats passed on him as well. I get why the Cavs did it but all of those other teams gotta be kicking themselves right now.

Lay and harden average the same amount of blocks.
What about turnovers
