Wait, so you because I use 'only half a season' to show that Kawhi is a superior offensive player yet you're playing the what-if game with your argument? So IF Klaynus was capable of being a first option (he isn't) he would average more points, his percentages would go up and be as good or better than Kawhi's, and his team wouldn't be Love's Timberwolves all because you say so?
Also stop with your ty attempts at trying to correlate things in order to boost your argument. The reason Kawhi is a much better scorer now compared to his formative years is because of how much he's grown as a player (bad shooter out of college to elite NBA shooter now). Trying to attribute it to him becoming a first option in order to claim Klaynus would see a similar uptick is plain re ed.so now KL is a better shooter than Klay? He should enter the 3pt contest then!
Last time he had 30 attempts he scored 60pts.Another great example of you being intellectually dishonest because your argument is . Typically, a second or third option will see significantly less shots than a first option but that isn't the case in this comparison. Klaynus averaged more FGAs than Kawhi last year. He's averaging the same amount this year. Klaynus is also basically shooting the same amount as he was last year--he hasn't seen a drop-off because KD arrived. We've already gone over this.
He doesn't need to attack the rim on that team. What about 3rd option don't you get?I'm sure you'll also once again cry about FTAs, as if somehow it's Kawhi's fault that Klaynus isn't anywhere near as good at attacking the rim as he is.
The opponents? lol... that matters! Klay played 29 ing minutes! Leonard played 46! That's another quarter and a half to get 66% of the points!Which is exactly why this comparison is re ed in the first place. You can't just give him the benefit of the doubt that he can be an efficient first option on an elite team like Leonard has already shown.
Who were the opponents in Klay's 60 point game and Kawhi's 41 point game?
Now you're relegated to talking about the opponent as if everyone doesn't play the same teams.
Like Kobe's 81pt game or MJ's 69pt game? Klay could have scored 75+ if he was left in. He has multiple 40pt games, at least a couple 50pt games and that 60pt game. Holds the record for points in a quarter, most points under 30 minutes as well. These aren't easy things to do. Anyone who's ever posted those types of numbers is way up the list in scoring greats. Somehow you think Klay doesn't belong there but Leonard and his personal best 41 points on 30 shots in OT does.
It's hilarious that you just accused me of cherry picking the CLE game, yet you continue to cite two whole games for what is a scorer.
You'll use his defense to support your ty take as well
KD has never scored 37 in a quarter or scored 60 points ever much less in 29 minutes. Is Klaynus more of a scorer than him too?
but klaynus scored 60 that one time
