Alright for you, I'll go through this entire season in 10 game sample sizes for Klay:
FG%/3pt%/FT%
Games 1-10
- 16.1ppg/3.9rpg/2.0apg | 42.6%/34.7%/83.3%
Games 12-22 (game 11 Klay played 1 minute and left turning his ankle)
- 16.2ppg/4.4rpg/2.2apg | 37.3%/34.4%/91.7%
Games 23-33
- 19.8ppg/3.1rpg/2.5apg | 46.7%/43.4%/94.1%
Games 34-44
- 18.6ppg/2.6rpg/2.8apg | 39.5%/36.5%/94.4%
Games 45-55
- 16.7ppg/3.8rpg/1.8apg | 44.4%/38.9%/100%
Games 56-66
- 17.7ppg/2.6rpg/2.4apg | 43.7%/42.3%/88.9%
Games 67-77
- 21.3ppg/3.0rpg/2.5apg | 48.3%/40.2%/100%
So aside from a pretty slow start in the first 20 games, Klay averaged the last 55 games:
- 18.8ppg/3.0rpg/2.4apg on 44.5%/40.2%/95.2%
That's what THJ was giving us until January 29th. Here is THJs 10 game break down:
Games 1-10
- 17.6ppg/4.3rpg/1.6apg| 42.4%/38.0%/100%
Games 12-22
- 17.8ppg/2.9/1.4apg| 41.1%/36.6%/80%
Games 23-33
- 17.0ppg/3.7rpg/2.1apg | 41.5%/31.1%/82.1%
Games 34-44
- 21.4ppg/4.2rpg/1.6apg| 45.0%/41.8%/88.9%
Games 45-55
- 10.5ppg/2.9rpg/1.6apg| 34.4%/31.5%/88.9%
Games 56-66
- 9.1ppg/2.2rpg/1.8apg| 36.3%/35.0%/72.2%
Games 67-77
- 9.3ppg/2.5rpg/2.0apg | 37.4%/31.7%/88.9%
Games 78-79
- 5.5ppg/1.5rpg/2.5apg | 26.7%/22.2%/50%
Between the two, THJ was the one who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Don't let 1 performance of Klay not showing up in the play in sour you on who Klay actually is. He is by far and away a more consistent and worlds better version of THJ. And that's what we've always wanted from THJ himself!
