Klay will appear in his first back-to-back game since his 2019 injury tonight!

I was looking at some stats as well.

Klay is shooting well from 3. He's 40%, even in the 4th. He's still an excellent floor spacer, but he's a more expensive Duncan Robinson who thinks he's kobe. Klay has too much dribbling in his game right now, it's a similar problem to his start of the year. He needs to find that balance again.

Secondly, I blame wiggins/kerr. Wiggins has the game to be the no.2 and they team looks better for it. That leaves klay hunting more 3s rather than trying to create for himself. It woukd akso save his lefs to be better on defense. Wiggs needs to be more aggressive, but kerr also needs to run some action for him. There's just no shots to go around with poole and klay going unchecked.

Thirdly, keep klay far away from poole. Those 2 just dont work together.

Something isn't adding up. If he's shooting really well from 3, is his poor TS% due to shooting *really* poorly on 2's? That would add up, but be really weird. He might be dribbling too much, but that wouldn't do anything to impact his TS%.

That's partially right. He has the second lowest TS% on the team (handily beating out Ryan Rollins) because he has the third worst 2pt% on the team (44.6%) and takes only 2 free throws a game. Funnily enough, that's good for third on the team in free throws per game, which illustrates our larger issue this year.

If you want to dig in a bit further, he has been exceptionally poor from midrange. 36% from 10-16 feet. 40% from 16 to 3pt range. Furthering that, what really drags him down is he's taking the fewest shots from 0-3 feet of anyone on the team, and has the third worst FG% on those shots.

All in all, he's a really good case study in what's been wrong with this team all season.

I wish 82games.com had this years data. Because i think Klay’s inability to be a credible threat inside makes defending GS easier when he is on the floor.

Klay has a sweet dunk(!) over KP last night.

In general it felt like he, and the whole team, was more aggressive about driving inside last night. And lo and behold, it seemed to help a great deal.

Wiggins in particular.

What's impressive about Klay's performance last night is that he did it on the second game of a back to back. Even though he didn't play heavy minutes in the Lakers' blowout, it's still very impressive considering where he was the first half of the season.

Klay has a .611 TS% since the xmas game. He's totally fine. Just had another Klay slow start to the season.

He *should* hit 12 3's? That's happened less than 10 times in the history of basketball.

lol

The dude helped win us 4 chips and make 6 finals series, is a future HOF'er and getting his number hung from the rafters, still averaging 20+ on solid efficiency, is a great fit, has a game that ages well, and is a friggin' splash brother,

But hey what have you done for me lately?

Aside breaking another record.
yesterday.

:crazy:
