Klay's market value is max, just based on what others are getting (Hayward, Parsons). He's one of the best two-way guards in the league. Saying he's a bad defender just discredited anything else the OP had to say. Anyone who could say that obviously hasn't seen him play at all. |

I love it when people throw the "doesn't play defense card" on solid/great defenders like klay thompson and then go and call james harden a two way player. _________________ Kobe |

people are discrediting Klay's D because he does not gamble much. He sticks to his guy and has very good lateral quickness. very good on ball defender. not sure about his off ball defense though. |

A bit about his defense last year:
Quote: | He held opposing shooting guards to a below-average 12.4 player efficiency rating this past season, via 82games.com, and yielded a minuscule 8.3 PER to point guards. The players he defended shot only 36.3 percent from the field in 2013-14, via Synergy Sports (subscription required), and turned the ball over on more than 11 percent of their possessions.
Those numbers grow even more impressive when considering the caliber of player he's defending. The toughest backcourt assignment is his, limiting the amount of energy Warriors All-Star point guard Stephen Curry has to expend on that side of the floor. |
