Both are in some kind of a free fall. Beal was probably a bit better this season, but Klay might benefit from playing next to Luka. Which guy do you think will have a better season next year?

Beal 100%.

Beal was always marginally better on offense and still is. Klay was always better on defense and isn't anymore. Now both are negative players defensively and I don't really know which is worse.

Beal is also 3 years younger and without having suffered the career mangling ACL and Achilles tears. Beal also has a full season of integration with his teammates behind him while Klay is on a new team for the first time in his long career.

Last season higher averages:

GP: Klay
PPG: Beal
ASP: Beal
RPG: Beal
SPG: Beal
A/T: Beal
FG%: Beal (I’d give Klay the 3P edge based on attempts)
3P%: Beal
FT%: Klay
PER: Beal
TS%: Beal
