    I think he is done. But who knows? Dude is a top 3 shooter of all time but is one of the most streaky shooters of all time. Maybe he gets hot and shoots 60% from 3 for 20 games, maybe he never finds his shot again.

      A major problem I see is that he is unable to get any separation from the defense. So many of his shots are heavily contested and kinda forced. He’s off-balance, leaning, feet aren’t set, etc. Teams know they can just smother him at the three point line because he doesn’t have the ballhandling or playmaking abilities to punish them for it. Doesn’t have much of a midrange game, for whatever reason.

      Having just one more reliable scorer on the team that could draw some attention would really help Klay, I think, so he could get some open looks on a swing pass.
