Disagree. Klay takes much more difficult shots.

If all Klay did was take spot up jumpers you could put him and Korver in the same category. But Thompson actually takes the ball the the rim, takes a lot of tough mid range shots coming off screens, and is a top 10 wing defender in the NBA.

Klay Thompson with the slight edge over Korver? They aren't even close.

both all stars, but not all nba. Korver TS% .699, Thompson .591

When it counts though (the playoffs) Korver hasn't been a very good shooter.

5/27/15 9:14am

one is an elite defender...the other is average.

Thompson is a good defender. Korver is not, so it's not close.

Thompson better defender, Korver far superior shooter.

Disagree. Klay takes much more difficult shots.

you're right Thompson is a better scorer, while Korver is more efficient

smokymountainrain

5/27/15 9:15am

there is more to offense then shooting

jrob30

5/27/15 9:13am

Right, like creating spacing via defensive respect/gravity. Korver is 2nd

I'd take literally every single starter on GS over every starter on the Hawks

smokymountainrain

5/27/15 9:29am

RdF3

5/27/15 9:31am

ZonaCougar12

5/27/15 9:46am

Millsap and Green are not even and I keep Bogut over Horford. Thompson huge edge

Big Daddy D

No question Horford is the better player. More athletic and more skilled. Howeve
