Yea but they’re still like 4 inches taller and most likely bigger than you klay
I really hope it won’t take too much toll guarding these bigs
Agreed and I’m excited to see it. There are some exceptional players that will obviously be tough matchups but that’s the case at every positon. No one is suggesting Klay try and lock up Giannis 1v1. But against most teams, I think Klay has the strength and discipline to match up with forwards and that will be a huge benefit to our spacing if it works defensively.
He’s been guarding the four a lot of last year, so many people freaking out who never actually watch the games
People bring up Lebron but they forget about help defense lol.
I think he can do spot guarding on switch. But full season, I don’t think klay can guard a 4 for a full game and not get tired. He’s gonna get tired out easy. Someone like Giannis would have a field day on Klay for a full game.
