@ brotherdave - why would you say klay is at his ceiling? he is only 3 months older than kemba. but maybe it was harsh for me to say i would "definitely" take him over kemba. but i would consider it. klay is 6'7" and has a tremendous range on his shot. he is averaging 15ppg this month. at the very least he will be a sniper off the bench for the next decade. he definitely needs to add more to his game. his rebounding is pathetic for a player his size. that must improve if he wants to eventually be a starter.
I think a sniper off the bench is what he'll be at the very most (or a starter on a bad team). He's just too slow to make any real improvement in his weak areas. I haven't watched him much but I haven't seen any cerebral passing instincts or anything like that like Curry has to make up for the lack of athleticism. He's one of those guys I foresee having a severe sophomore slump.
klay thompson with 28 (10 of 13) midway through the 3rd quarter. his jumper is a thing of beauty.
True, he can definitely stroke it. But after watching the Warriors-Kings game from last night, I stand behind my comments. His man blew by him at will, he committed dumb fouls b/c he was too slow (he gifted Cousins a couple of and 1's), made some bonehead passes that resulted into turnovers, and was generally worthless except that when he got an open shot he nailed it. He only made a couple contested shots that weren't wide open spot up threes, though one was a nice turnaround J over a smaller cover. Even his handle isn't that good, when Nate Robinson went down with the injury, Mark Jackson opted to use Dominic McGuire as the backup PG to Charles Jenkins.
If he was playing for the Bobcats he'd have dismal numbers b/c he'd never get the open looks that the Warriors get him.
Damn crunk, how you gon do me like that. You always get your panties in a bunch.
