I'd say Miller.

Klay's greatness comes in part from being on Curry's team. I really wonder how known he would be, or how many accolades he'd collect if he was on an ordinary team. If he wasn't a second option on a team where the star player is hounded by multiple players, to the point he gets open looks, cuts for an easy basket, he might be just be a solid 3 and d player and that's it.

Klay rode Curry and green's coat tails.

Reggie even though never won a ring .. is a better player an is a top 50 player of all time.

[ArbitraryWater]

Id say Klay.

Just more of an upside.

[HoopologyPhD]

Klay is a far superior defender with the strength and versatility to guard most 1-4s which probably gives him the edge

[Carbine]

Reggie at a #1 option

Klay as #2 or #3

[Manny98]

Reggie easily

Klay is like a tier below

sounds like Lebron

[90sgoat]

In Klay's role, Klay.

In Reggie's role, Reggie, easily and it ain't close.

[SlimReaper]

Definitely Reggie

[Axe]

In terms of overall team value, it has to be klay.

After making the finals for five straight years, the warriors didn't make the playoffs for the following two straight years while he was fully absent on the playing lineup, after all.

[tpols]

Playoff Klay has shot like shit compared to playoff Reggie. And that's despite Reggie playing in a way tougher era with no MVP Curry talent to deflect attention.

What happened to "scoring help" being the most important? :oldlol:

Funny how you flip flop.

EDIT: I'll also point out its funny how Klay's 19.8ppg gets rounded to 19, yet Jeff's 14.53 gets rounded to 15ppg. Interesting maths perspective.

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

Need to see Klay as the #1 then we can compare. With that said, Miller because Klay at this stage wont ever be a first option heck probably not even a #2.

The analysis accounted for era differences and the fact that Hornacek would be an entirely different player at 9 attempts per game (in today's format) instead of the 1.9 attempts career average.

Furthermore, non-franchise players are essentially system players, aka supplementary players like Klay, Pippen or Hornacek don't dictate brand of ball like a franchise player does, so they're essentially production robots within the 1st option's brand of ball.. As production robots, their stats can be compared directly without considering brand of ball, leadership, clutch and other things that must be considered when comparing 1st options

So your analysis lies and misrepresents the actual numbers they achieved to suit your agenda?

Got ya.

[Baller789]

The answer is Miller time.

Klay would just be another name with another team.
