Why is Klay considered an elite defender?

[konex]

He is nothing special and gets lit up by stars regularly

[Im Still Ballin]

Because he is

[keep-itreal]

Bruce Bowen, Shane Battier, Ron Artest and even Kawhi Leonard got lit up occasionally

[Im Still Ballin]

Even Jesus got got

He's not elite. He better than average but plays for a great defensive team.

[Genaro]

When you're a great defender you get lit up cause you always take the hardest assignment. Good defenders don't stop the best scorers in the world, they just make life harder on them. Why didn't you create this thread when Lillard shot 8-26?

[JebronLames]

In b4 Klay makes an All NBA defensive team

[KG215]

Klay Thompson? That Klay?

He's considered an elite defender? Since when?

[IGOTGAME]

Klay Thompson? That Klay?

He's considered an elite defender? Since when?

we have to listen to it every GSW game...its annoying

[tmacattack33]

He is definitely not elite. He's a good defender.

And I don't think i've ever heard of anybody calling him elite.

[WayOfWad3]

He is?

[raprap]

When I hear elite defender, Kawhi, Allen and Green come into mind, not Klay. He's a good defender. Won't hurt your team defensively. That's about it.

[LAZERUSS]

He's way better than GAC, that's for sure.

The Fragile One couldn't defend a statue.

[SyRyanYang]

He could shut down Wilt but that doesn't make him elite.

[LAZERUSS]

He could shut down Wilt but that doesn't make him elite.

GAC couldn't hold Wilt's corpse to less than 50 points.
