Come on guys, at least wait until he shows what he can do during an actual NBA season!!
If this comes after a couple of months, while I would be weary of it, I could at least understand it.
At this point, we might as well compare him to Jordan and Hakeem, I mean, WTF. It is all pointless until he starts playing and speaks to us on the court. _________________ Never argue with stupid people! They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!! - Twain

It's fun to talk about possibilities though.
Yeah but it will be more fun when you actually have some evidence to support your conjecturing! It is too premature!! I mean really. _________________ Never argue with stupid people! They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!! - Twain
Hopefully Ingram obviously. Klay is an all star but is he a superstar like KD, Lebron, Westbrook? No. I think KAT is a shoe in to be a superstar. Dlo will likely be an all star, and potential superstar if he works hard. Ingram? I think he will easily be an all star in a few years and will be a much better player than Klay
So you see Ingram in the all star tier?
I meant to say Ingram is a definite all star , potential superstar. Klay is just an all star. In other words, I think Ingram has a higher upside
I think Klay could be a borderline superstar if he was the leader of his own team. He's got the skills and his motor is crazy.

I'm a huge Klay fan, but I think he's properly cast in his role as a secondary (now tertiary by no fault of his own) option. Excels in catch/shoot situations and he's not exactly creating a lot of his own shots. A top 20 player for probably the next 3-4 years. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

You guys don't think Klay is the best SG now? (Kawhi, Harden, PG)?

honestly, I'd be ecstatic if Ingram can develop to where Klay Thompson is right now
Scottie Pippen. That's who I want him to emulate his game after. Not Prince or Thompson
I want him emulating Kahwai/AK47 hybrid. Defensive nightmare who is good for 20+ ppg.
That would be great. Defensively all those guys could get multiple stops in the same play.
Help defend to stop penetration, recover to their man for the close out, and then defend their man if he penetrates. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

And by the end of this upcoming season, I doubt many people will consider him the #1 SG. With Steph, Durant, and Draymond on that roster. He'll be 4th banana some games. Tough to put a smaller role guy like that above a person carrying their team to the playoffs like Harden. Heck Demar, Wade, and McCullom might be guys putting up better #s than Klay on playoff teams as well _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

And there's nothing he can do about it. He's under a dirt cheap deal. Maybe when his deal is up or close to it, in like 2019. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

We could trade for him?
Sure. But Warriors would rightfully ask for a king's ransom for him. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I personally have Harden over him. People forget he had a historic season:
Quote:
Harden finished the season with averages of 29 points, 7.5 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. The list of players who have averaged 29-7-6 and played 70 games or more in a season includes Harden, LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson.
More on his ridiculous snub from the all NBA teams here. He's disrespected by the media the same way Russell is.
Kawhi and PG are listed as forwards, but I'd still take those two over Klay.

Harden plays no defense, he doesn't even pretend to. That is why I take Klay over him any day. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Butler, Klay, Russ and Harden are the class of the 'SG' position. DeRozan and McCollum are probably leaders in the next tier. How you rank the first group probably depends on how you value defense vs playmaking. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night.
