Next season: Bradley Beal vs Klay Thompson

[durantbird]

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.
