Oh man, game of inches. That first one wasn’t actually bad but he rushed it a bit and drifted harder than he probably normally would. Pretty standard move coming off a screen tbh, defender’s hand was down too.

The 2nd if he just shot it immediately it would have been a great look, he got to the set point before the defender was even in his airspace but I guess he wanted to pump it and take a bit more time. 1000% should not have shot it after it didn’t work though.

Off these 2 plays alone it looks like he’s in his head a little and/or not quite comfortable. Pushing a bit too hard & fast, 2nd guessing decisions and then overcompensating for the hesitation.

I think the doomsaying is a little premature still, those are very symptomatic of earlyseasonitis, and Klay is a total streak player. He definitely is removed from peak Klay but I don’t think he’s cooked just yet.
