he's either red hot or ice cold.. and its been that way for a long time. At this point its time to say he's overrated due to extreme inconsistency.

He's shot over 40% the last 3 years, I think it's safe to say he'll improve as the year goes on.

Usually it's regression to the mean, but hopefully for the sake of my fantasy team he progresses to the mean

Still... 3 three's out of 28 attempts is pretty shitty for such a good shooter :facepalm

His usage-% so far in just the few games seems down from last seasons, from 26-27% to 22-23%

Glorified JR Smih. At times I'd even take JR over Klay honestly.

I think their games these past two seasons have been more comparable than most people think. JR since coming to the cavs has turned himself into a very good 3-D player. Klay's the slightly better shooter and defender, but JR is obviously better at creating for himself in a pinch and better at making bad shots. Also JR isn't a douchey whiner like Klay is.

I think its fair to say out of the core players, Klay has the biggest adjustment. Curry's going to get his, not as many ppg as last year but he'll settle around 25 which was more in line with prior years before last season's explosion. Klay has now been relegated to a clear number 3 role, and Durant has taken some of his shots. That's tough for a rhythm shooter like Klay. Draymond will be OK because his game isn't reliant on getting a lot of shots anyway, so he'll do the little things like he always does. I'd say Klay is out of rhythm but it's way too small a sample size, at this point in the year, to push the panic button.

Hasn't been that big of a downgrade, certainly less than I expected as well.

3PA Averages per 36
13/14 - 6.7
14/15 - 8.0
15/16 - 8.8
16/17 - 7.0

FG Averages per 36
13/14 - 15.8
14/15 - 19.0
15/16 - 18.7
16/17 - 16.6


The main reason IMO is that the bench doesn't have as much firepower as it did last year. Livingston and Iguadala are 1 year older, whiles Rush, Speights & Barbosa all left. Kerr and Brown have been using both Durant and Klay as big options for the B team, they are 1a and 1b for the bench squad. That's how they're getting a good amount of shots per game without affecting Steph as much. The problem is that all 3 of them have shot poorly by their standards into the new season. Even Durant has been ass from the 3, and he's been free for most of them. Klay is getting more open than the previous season. Durant is a career 38% and shooting 23% despite getting more looks than at OKC. The shots are just not falling in, and this is just inevitable that it's a matter of time IMO. The truth is they stunk it up from 3 and need to step it up, but I'm confident they will.

It's crazy that Durant is still shooting 68% TS overall while being shit from 3 so far. Curry's 3point numbers aren't OUT OF THIS WORLD relative to last year, but still shooting a good percentage so far in line with his career averages.

Nope.

Scrub over performed for a few years.

Back to earth now.

Plus kd is a team killer.

I find it funny that KD is a team killer to everyone but Warrior fans. People who have been watching KD think he's adapting extremely well with the Warriors, and it's not just because he scores points. I think the P&R with Curry/Durant will become the deadliest weapon in the NBA once their chemistry ramps up.

Not worried. This just means Klay is going to have a 10/11 from 3, 40point game this week.

streaky shooter, he'll but up to 40% soon

If you want to talk about something overrated with Klay, it's his defense, not his shooting

He's a below average defender who somehow gets credit for being great

I don't understand how the 2nd fastest person to 1000 made three's in NBA history can be considered a "streaky" shooter.

In the Sense of that when he is on.... There is an argument that he is the best Shooter ever just based on how fast he shoots.

37 in a quarter dude.

I remember watching that entire game. he hit 9 three's in one quarter. that doesn't make him streaky, that makes him really good.

It is somewhat interesting even though the sample size of 4 games is not enough to draw any long term conclusions from. He is attempting seven 3- pointers a game but is making less that 1 of them.

it's a little too early in the season to blame things on Durant

by the time this post had made it to insidehoops, Thompson had already accepted the fact that Lebron James is now the front runner for the MVP this season.

Stephen Curry will push up the tempo despite of Stever Kerr's strategy sometime during the season.

overall, still a slight dip in fantasy value for his owner because he's not gonna be upset with a dip of .010%~.020% in shooting percentage, nor should he
