Is Klay even a top 5 SG anymore?
1. Harden
2. Butler
3. Beal
4. Oladipo
5. ...
Klay is so unreliable in big games, it's frustrating and predictable.
But yes, I'd still take Klay 5th on that list with all his flaws and all. Maybe 4th as I have not watched Oladipo play much. Klay is so overrated, it's crazy. He's a slightly better version of Wes Mathews and Danny Green, a primary 3 and D guy. Klay gets so many open shots.
There is only one star SG and that is Harden, imo. Rest are role players, majority of the players are role players so the desparity between #2-#7 SG is not as huge.
Klay literally does 2 things that stand out; shooting and man on man defense. And plays next to Curry and is a son of a NBA baller. He's well below average in every facet of the game. He's lucky that Curry is his backcourt team mate and he gets lumped with Curry as a Splash brother (corny nickname).
Glad W's have him but he's frustrating to watch as a W's fan. Consistently inconsistent. W's and Curry are chasing greatness and by Klay, the mental ****** playing worse in the playoffs, road games and big games; Curry, Green, Iggy, Shaun AND Barnes have to step up huge. Klay is not a real #2 option. He's the W's 4th best player.
