I could not agree more with this. Timmy's decision-making was somewhere between average and terrible. In the half-court, he could only be relied upon to sit in the corner. On defense, he barely waved his arms. On offense, he couldn't muscle anyone into the paint. I'm betting he was probably told not to dribble at all.
Timmy's best feature was shooting a pull-up three before the defense was set or getting a corner three. Occasionally he was very good at those things. But he absolutely HAD TO BE very good at those things or he wasn't worth playing. Klay knows what to do even if his shot is not falling. It's true, we're not certain what kind of Klay we're getting, but a comparison to Tim Hardaway jr. is a real slap in the face.
