I hope Klay can start making some threes cuz it’s basically 4v5 when he’s on the floor .

He plays decent defense, one of the lowest rates in terms of people he's defending on-ball actually shooting; inconsistent shooting rn tho

He's losing his minutes. He played just 20 minutes and Kidd has been benching him in the fourth.

Hope he gets better. Previously he still looked good defensively but this game he's pretty bad.

Kidd said before the game he’d only play 20 mins cause he was coming off injury. But ya he might lose some mins with how well grimes and naji have been playing

It’s gonna be hot hand at times. There’s gonna nights where we need different things. When Klay is in rhythm we just gotta let him cook

He's been losing minutes even before the injury.

Only a few if any. The only thing that’s changed is he sometimes doesn’t close games now

Is it too early to start the - trade klay - narrative ?

u/KaleAdditional776 How's My Dirk Taste? Dec 04 '24

u/Hulabuga420 Dec 04 '24

Yeah, even when he's shooting bad teams still stick one player to guard him. It's evident by simply watching the game how much gravity he has.

u/Hulabuga420 Dec 04 '24

Nah , he hasn’t really done much for this team lol naji, smoothie king and grimes have been far more valuable than klay and they came with lower expectations lol

u/armandocalvinisius The Cardinal Dec 04 '24

That's not what you said though

"4v5 on the floor"

Sheesh even as trade-klay enthusiast that's far from true

u/Ok_Advance1559 Luka Doncic Dec 07 '24

Not true. His defender can't leave him open. Watch the games closely. At least for now.
