Klay is considered an offensive player because his elite shooting makes up for other areas he's lacking in. Steph isn't elite at anything defensively.

What is Klay elite at defensively?
so you can be crappy at everything but be elite at ONE thing on side and be considered for it?
Tristan Thompson is an elite offensive rebounder...should he be considered a two-way player?
Nothing, but, unlike Steph,
he doesn't have any weaknesses defensively and is above average at just about everything defensively. That makes him a good defender.

BTW, here are Klay's Synergy Sports defensive ratings compared to Harden:
Post up: 82nd percentile (9% of possessions) Harden: 90th percentile (20% of possessions)
Isolation: 53rd percentile (11% of possessions) Harden: 71st percentile (15% of possessions)
PnR ballhandler: 90th percentile (35% of possessions) Harden: 75th percentile (14% of possessions)
PnR roll man: 73red percentile (1.4% of posssessions) Harden: 82nd percentile (2.6% of possessions)
Spot up shooter: 66th percentile (20% of possessions) Harden: 52nd percentile (30% of possessions)
Off screen: 49th percentile (8% of possessions) Harden: 79th percentile (5% of possessions)
Off handoff: 24.6th percentile (11% of possessions) Harden: 96th pecentile (5% of possessions)
Lesson: Run lots of handoffs at Klay.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
