Another horrible showing for Klay as he continues to struggle since the playoffs last year.

Andrew Wiggins similarly had an off game, with 12 points and 5 turnovers (0-4 from 3).

At the end of the day, how much of Klay's career was him being carried by Steph? Or are injuries solely at fault here?

He has been ASS for some seasons already.

He would’ve been a great player on any team, but there’s no doubt in my mind that playing with Steph did a ton for him. He got way more open looks than most shooters of his caliber would because of Steph.

I think he’d still have been an elite or very good 3/D guy on most teams, but idk if people would view him as a top 5 shooter ever. Ben Taylor did a podcast ranking the best shooters ever and I think he had Klay at number 9 because his 3pt shooting percentage when Steph was off the court was “only” like 38%.
