Not under Greg Poclovic, and Klaynus could not do it with Pop either.
I remember when people on this forum were arguing Danny Green was a better player than Klay ThompsonNot just better defender but better overall player. So yes, they are wrong. Wake me up when Green can score 40-60 points so effortlessly.
Not under Greg Poclovic, and Klaynus could not do it with Pop either.
So I guess Klay is also a better offensive player than Harden...
sound logic
But Kawhi's usage rate is at a career high. It's not Pop's fault Kawhi isn't as an explosive of a scorer.
Klay is a better scorer. Harden is the better playmaker.So I guess Klay is also a better offensive player than Harden...

Predictable that you would use one quarter or one game as your argument. I guess the rest of the games don't matter.
MJ never scored 37 in a quarter. Is Klaynus a better offensive player than him too?
Playing for a team, not hogging the ball if we say something like that then David Robinson is a much better scorer that Klaynus, 71 points no 3 pointers.
Even if we ignore the fact that one is a complimentary player and the other is an alpha whom opposing defenses focus on, there just isn't anything to support the claim that Klaynus is a better offensive player.
Kawhi- 24.7 PPG on 47/40/91
Klaynus- 21.5 PPG on 47/38/89
Kawhi- 7 30+ pt games, 21 20+ pt games, held under 20 pts three times, held at or under 15 pts once, season low is 14 pts
Klaynus- 2 30+ pts games, 14 20+ pt games, held under 20 pts eleven times, held at or under 15 pts eight times, season low is 8 pts
But but Klaynus scored 37 in a quarter once. And he scored 60 in 29 minutes. That automatically makes him a better offensive player despite what the the numbers suggest.
I remember when Lollard was beasting just a couple years ago, looked unstoppable and what now?
2 hot games every a couple of months is not something to write home about... losing to memphis with KD DG SC and Iguonada and Klaynus was there.
And dont forget the other night Kiwi was being triple teamed.Even if we ignore the fact that one is a complimentary player and the other is an alpha whom opposing defenses focus on, there just isn't anything to support the claim that Klaynus is a better offensive player.

He's not. Harden can generate more points than Klay on average under more conditions simply because of his ability to draw fouls, shoot the 3 and get to the rim. He's also an elite ball handler most of the time.So I guess Klay is also a better offensive player than Harden...

You're right. A Kawhi open three has a higher chance of going in than a Klaynus open three.
You don't have to tell me that
I asked you if Kawhi has the ability, meaning, does Kawhi have the jumpshot to even think about scoring that much in one quarter? No he doesn't. And you are right MJ never scored 37 in a quarter, he has scored 39 in one half (Still more than Kawhi could dream about) . It's a much more 3 point oriented game today...So don't try to compare.
Because Kawhi has a wider open look when he shoots the 3. Marc Gasol has a higher percentage than either of them and better than Kevin Durant. So is Marc Gasol a bigger 3pt threat than Klay, KD and Kawhi? No, because Klay has attempted 184 3's while Mark has attempted less than 100. Kawhi has attempted 118 3's. So Kawhi isn't looking for the 3 as often as Klay is, because Kawhi isn't as prolific a 3pt scorer as Klay. If KL could launch that many more attempts in the same time frame and remain less than 1 percentage point lower than his current, don't you think he would?
Likewise, if Tony Parker could play and shoot like Curry, and if Danny Green had KD's attributes, how many points per game would Kawhi get?
Oh is that why Klay is a better career 3 point shooter?
Have you even watched Kawhi play recently? Probably has the best midrange shot in the league. Shot 44% last season and is shooting 40% this season on 3PTers (higher percentage than Klaynus both years). His jumpshot is just fine, imbecile.
What's your expert analysis on this?:
Kawhi- 24.7 PPG on 47/40/91
Klaynus- 21.5 PPG on 47/38/89
Kawhi- 7 30+ pt games, 21 20+ pt games, held under 20 pts three times, held under at or under15 once, season low is 14 pts
Klaynus- 2 30+ pts games, 14 20+ pt games, held under 20 pts eleven times, held at or under 15 pts eight times, season low is 8 pts
Who's higher the last two years?Oh is that why Klay is a better career 3 point shooter?
Kawhi doesn't take as many 3's as Klay, moron.
And what are you boasting about? They are almost scoring the same amount of points with Kawhi having the higher usage rate
Kawhi takes LESS 3 pointers than Klay
The attempts are not the same.
Or it could also be a combination of other things. Like the fact that Kawhi doesn't have as many open threes generated for him because he doesn't play on an explosive offensive team, and doesn't have KD and Curry as teammates. Or the fact that Kawhi's offensive game is much more well-rounded than Klaynus' (who's only elite skill is shooting).
84% of Ray Allen's 3 pointers made were assisted. 93% of Klay's career 3's have been assisted. So what? Great 3 point shooters find ways to get open.
Oh yeah, and 80% of Kawhi's 3's are assisted. He could shoot more if he really wanted to.
He does have a higher usage rate which leads us back to square one. Kawhi is an alpha on an elite team, putting up his points while being the opposing defense's main focus. Klaynus is a gamma, playing a complimentary role and getting assisted on 85% of his shots.Kawhi doesn't take as many 3's as Klay, moron.
And what are you boasting about? They are almost scoring the same amount of points with Kawhi having the higher usage rate
That's why I preceded that post by saying let's ignore that. Because your argument becomes that much tier if we don't.
