Replace klay with booker what happens?

[Pinkyring]

Does either team improve?

For the Warriors: Immediately become a worse defensive team and with less ball movement?

[Yoshun]

The Suns improve, the Warriors get worse. Klay is a better player.

[HoopsterJones]

I think Suns would improve but Warriors get worse. Klay is a very good defender and has legit size to guard 1-3 and some 4’s. He is also a better shooter than Booker.

Bottom line Klay is perfect offball Guard for Curry. He’s the ultimate 3 and D player.

Booker is a great scorer can handle the ball some, but is not as efficient of a scorer compared to Klay and a poor defender by all metrics.

[IgorK]

Klay knows how to defend, Booker does not. Easy win for Suns here.

Having said that.. I can't wait to see Klay become a #1 option somewhere, simply because I doubt he can be the #1 banana on a team.

Warriors splash brothers become splash half brothers

Klay isn't a very good defender, he's a terrible defender. He only has the reputation of a great defender because of how well defensively the Warriors play.

I'd say that he's good on-ball defender, but when it comes to team defense, he's average at best.

Klay can't create for himself or others. You think he'd shoot like he does playing on the suns with tyler ulis setting him up?

Well, he's still better at making wide open shots than Booker. His percentages would probably go down, but he's a better shooter.

Klay hasn't shown the floor game or creation booker has shown. Booker doesn't get wide open shots.

I agree that Booker is better at creating shots for himself and others, but that's not what Warriors need. They need someone who's going to play mostly off-ball, and Klay is perfect for that.

The suns don't really need a spot up shooter that plays off the ball.
To answer the threads question, no.

[mowcrowbar]

Klay is a much better shooter than Booker. And that is irreplaceable for that current roster. Also, look at what Barnes is average once leaving GS. He is averaging close to 20 a game, but they are meaningless stats.

[flintsky21]

Warriors would be just as good. It's all about Curry and Durant.

For the Suns, it would be debatable. Hard to tell how Klay would fare as the primary option with the opponents focusing on him.

[The_Hater]

Does either team improve?

The Suns improve. The warriors get worse. Especially on defense because Booker can’t take on the same assignments that Klay does.

But the Warriros still win the title and the Suns still miss the playoffs

You're drunk. That makes no sense.

[Cipoteman]

Trevor Booker? In that case the Cavs become the new #1 ranked team and the Rockets, Spurs, Thunder, etc become instant contenders
