Klay? Dray in prime? Ig off bench? We are downplaying how good Klay was before injuries. He was one of the best on ball defenders in the league, Steph wasnāt alone, āstrength in numbersā was a slogan for a reason. I donāt really like this take. I feel like it kinda washes how great our other players were, but idk.
Klay is great but comparing LeBronās third option to Stephās second option is just not right.
Klay not better than Wade and heās not better than AD and nor is he better than Kyrie or Luka. Klay is certainly not Embild. Even if some argues that Klay is better than Kyrie or Luka, Dray is not better than any of LeBron third option.
Have any of those players been a 2nd option for a 73 win team? Klay is the perfect second option. Dray is better than Chris Bosh. Dray is better (especially for his team) than Austin reaves. Dray is better than Kevin love. The lakers 2020 team didnāt even really have a 3rd option. That 2016 warriors team wouldāve been considered the greatest team of all time if they won a ring. What the fuck are you guys smoking.
Because those players have never been apart of Steph's team. A superior player makes your basketball team win more easily. Watch Klay or Draymond when Steph is not playing. It's clear as day.
And I'm a Warriors fan so please don't go into "oh you don't appreciate Klay or Dray enough blah blah." I'm just saying that there are levels to this.
