Klay Thompson is the better scorer and overall player, it's really not even close. Best 2-way shooting guard in the NBA.

Let's calm down. Heakthy Wade is still a better overall offensive player than Klay and, despite his bad showing in the finals, is typically a capable defender.

Wade's ball-handling, slashing, finishing, post game, passing, and mid-range game plus his craftiness and experience give him the nod.

And Klay is the 2nd option on defense and offense too so don't use Lebron against Wade. Iggy is probably the best overall and most consistent defender in the league (Tony Allen, Iggy, Kawhi, George, Motivated Lebron).

Doesn't matter, are you really going to argue what conference is better defensively?

When the top ten defensive teams have seven spots filled by the east(and four from the atlantic in the top 15) then yes I will. Derozan plays in a tougher conference defensively and is asked to score more

Alright my man, I respect your position but we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I kept the poll up for the whole season, I'll up this thread once Klay ascends to the point where it's obvious he's the better scorer.

Dwyane Wade is the past bruh, he's yesterdays newspaper(why the hell you think Bron left miami ?)Klay Thompsons stock is on the rise while Dwyane Wades is on the decline. Father Time has caught up with Wade, meanwhile Klay Thompson is a young and healthy 24 year old who will dominate the SG position for the next ten years.

:stopitslime:

Wade just had his most effecient season of his career. He score more PPG, in less minutes and on higher effeciency, while averaging more reboubds and assists than Klay did and he did this playing 2nd fiddle to Lebron.

Old Man Wade is still a fukking monster and a legit 1st option offense talent when he's healthy.,

I'm not gonna take anything away from Dwyane Wade, he's been there, done that. Even won the championship without Lebron. But Father Time is knocking on Dwyane Wade's door and you would be a fool to deny it. Klay Thompson and Demar Derozan are on the rise and Dwyane Wade is on the decline. Out with the old and in with the new

Klay Thompson has improved his game tremendously and he has a much higher basketball i.q. than Demar Derozan. On offense, Klay Thompson scares the hell out of defenses. Demar Derozan on the other hand, scares nobody.

That's straight up outlandish lol.

Demar LED the entire NBA in the playoffs in FTA, by literally a whole attempt..1. He knows how to get to the line with the absolute best, that's not scaring defences? After a horrible game 1, he still managed to put up 24 a game in the first round and the Raptors lost by 1 possession in game 7.

If someone were to read your post and they knew nothing about Derozan, they would think that defences don't even have to plan for him.

Klay gets a lot of his points off of the attention Curry gets. I'm not going to downplay Klay though. Demar is a horse that you can rely on to get you points on a consistent basis (his ability to get to the line offsets any other inefficiency). Klay is a top notch complimentary player, 3 and D.

Klay Thompson is still much more frightening to defenses. Klay Thompson is madly underrated because he plays with Stephen Curry, similar to when Scottie Pippen played with Michael Jordan.

3 and D players are guys who can't put it on the floor and score. Klay has shown he can do that.
