View Full Version : Klay Thompson hasn't been giving effort on Defense this year

He has been dogging it and not hustling and it has turned him into a one dimensional player.

He is not a good ball handler or playmaker, can only really spot up shoot and sometimes post up if he is on a blatant mismatch. Klay used to be 3&D role player type of guy but now he isn't even really consistent on defense. Harden really exposed Klay in the WCF of last year and he hasn't been the same since.

Klay has never been a good defensive player. he's too slow.

He defends the league's best offensive guards every night, and then we have Stephen Curry and that other half of the splash brothers

He is by far the best defensive shooting guard in the league.

jimmy butler is much better

klay doesnt have good lateral movement, but hes 6'7 with long arms so that makes up for it.

Warriors seem to play decent team defense which makes up for some of the indivdual shortcomings....

According to Pro Basketball Focus Klay is the 4th highest rated defender who plays most of his minutes at the 2. That's not bad at all

Klay is one of the premier defenders at the 2 spot, he defends the best of the best and you can't expect him to shutdown his matchup every game. Defense now a days is more of a team effort anyways.

I think the less he is cherished on the Warriors (aka getting less shots), the less he tries on D.

his dumb fouls ruin all his solid defense. he's just like jr smith but maybe a tad less out of control on that end.
