Do you think he would be able to lead you deep into the playoffs and potentially win it all if he is your best player?

He's Robin, not Batman.

With time running down in a close game, I can't say that I'd feel confident with Klay being able to create a good shot for the win.

Klay is not only an elite shooter, he's an excellent defender and has great passing/lane vision.

A team could do worse than build around him. He wouldn't be my first choice, but he definitely would be in the top 5 of the guards I'd choose.

He's a hell of a defender, light's out shooter, and top 20 player in the league. He would need someone to be paired with him, but everyone not named LeBron has to have that too. He could lead you to the conference semi's, but depending on the team, probably not a deep playoff push.

Basically, he's Golden St's best player

I mean yeah i'd take him as a franchise player and pair him with another franchise player.

He's not of the Lebron/Shaq/Kobe/Jordan can do all of it alone but i'd sure as hell want him on my team.

I remember when people were actually trying to argue that Klay > Harden. Those were the days.

Maybe / Maybe Not.. but if I was making a list, I bet he would be in the top 10

Okc has almost no shot to even win one playoff series.

They're 17-12 in 7th place. They need someone else to help him.

Excellent work bringing the Rockets into a thread that has nothing to do with them.

What about just guards?

I am trying to formulate a list but I have only had 1 coffee.

Westbrook obviously, but who else? I really don't think I'd pick Curry over him. He's an average defender and rebounder. Klay is a much more well rounded player.
