Third best.
or an easter island statueThere's an argument to be had either way.
He also looks like the PBS logo.
he is more important than draymond? I'm not really sure, i think DG is what makes the team go. He guards everyone, passes, sets screens. Klay is a monster though. wonder what he would look like having a team to himself a la hardenThird best.
I find Draymond to be a bit overrated, really good jack of all trades player but I don't see him as a superstar. Klay is a superstar, best two way shooting guard in the league IMO.There's an argument to be had either way.

Draymond is perfect for GS but he couldn't be a #1 option anywhere, not even sure he could be a #2 anywhere. Klay is #1 almost anywhere and the perfect #2. He's also getting the toughest assignments on D. Still don't think people realize how good this guy is, he has two of the best offensive performances ever.he is more important than draymond?

Catch and shoot to the maxHe had the ball in his hands for a total of 88.4 seconds and had 11 dribbles, unreal.
Had 60 points through three quarters tonight, 29 minutes of play. Nobody gets in the zone like this guy.
@superjohn respectfully disagree, I think Klay is overrated defensively. Draymond, on the other hand, is the most impactful defeensive player in the league in my opinion. I think if you replace Klay on this Warriors team with somebody like, say, J.J. Redick, they lose way less than they do than if you swap Draymond for somebody like Al Horford (and Horford is a terrific player).
Draymond definitely isn't a #1 option, but I think his game is such that he makes other guys #1 options who might not be otherwise. Put him on a squad like the Blazers and that team becomes illegal.
This seems like a huge instance of hyperbole to me. I think I may be too biased against Draymond to see this comparison objectively (because he is objectively a punk) but I think Klay is slightly more important for them. The offense would be continue to be stupid without Draymond and just fine on D if they were able to replace him with a rim protecting role player big (preferably, who could pass decently). Think a Robin Lopez type. Losing a top 5 shooter of all time who can D up the best perimeter player is more important IMO. And their offense is so good because they may have the best 3 shooters in the league, not because Draymond is an above average passer.
I think it's clear that we need to dedicate an entire thread to this where all of the boneyard heavyweights battle it out on this topic. As somebody who may be too biased in favor of Draymond because he is objectively a lovable human being, I still think he is more important to them (however in saying that I am assuming he won't continue to shoot sub-30% from three) because of how valuable he is in initiating those 4 on 3s when teams swarm Curry ball screens. Robin Lopez is not going to have nearly the same effect.
