Countdown to Armageddon
Klay's a great shooter and a good (not great) defender.

Time To Have This Debate: Klay Thompson vs. Devin Booker
- Thread starter Homeboy Runny-Ray
- Start date
it's pretty much going to be Klay until Booker adds defense to his game or another wrinkle to his game besides just scoring...I'm not going to give Klay any props for his team winning I'm just looking at them as individual players.

I mean Book has the higher ceiling but at the moment Klay is better

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Klay saw this thread and made the call before it got too late
you ever tried building a team around a 3 and D player b?
Booker is averaging per-36 numbers of 26.1/4.8/4.2 on 46/39/87 shooting as a young 21 year old, as in he just turned 21 at the end of October 
He's an unbelievable offensive talent.
That being said, until he improves his horrendous defense Klay will remain the easy choice.

i think a better question is who would you rather want on a team to build around
devin booker is clearly a first option on offense
klay can't be a first option, but hes the best 2nd option you can have with his defense and range
gimme klay
plenty of alphas in teh league, hard to find someone that knows their role and is content being robin to batman

He reminds me alot of Pre-Celtics Ray Allen

Superstar
STFU "MORON"
HE WAS ASSISTED ON 81% OF HIS BUCKETS IN THE HOUSTON SERIES
AND ASSISTED ON 84% OF HIS BUCKETS IN THE PORTLAND SERIES.
HES THE EPITOME OF A GUY WHO CANT CREATE HIS OWN SHOT.
I honestly dont trust your numbers lil bruh. I trust what my eyes tell me. And regardless, since when was creating your own shot the end all be all? In a league predicated on system and teamwork, being able to create your own shot is kind of an overrated attribute.

Defensively yes.
Offensively, Booker has more in his arsenal.On top of that, he's 6 years younger, and still in his infancy as a player.
Even more, Klay doesn't see the defensive attention Booker gets from other teams.
Teams basically double/triple team him out on the perimeter.
Playing with Steph/Durant doesn't hurt.Look at Klay.Most off his points are assisted.The exact opposite of Booker
Klay's a clog in a system.A legit/effective system.Booker's on a team full of scrubs, ran by one of the most dysfunctional franchises in all of sports
Only thing they really have in common is their skin tone.Booker's more of a slasher/shooter.Klay's more of a catch & shoot/spot up guy.
When I look a Booker, I see more of a crafty ISO player.Almost like a Paul Pierce.With Klay, more of a Reggie Miller.
In 2-3 years, I see Booker being the more dynamic player.Especially on offense.I think he's a true #1 option who can create his own offense.
He'll be tougher to defend than Klay.I think Klay's a good 2nd option player.It fits his game more.
