    How cool is it that we can debate how our undrafted player rates against the best player at his position?

    Klay is on another level and he showed it last night.

    They're cut from the same mold but Klay is clearly on another level.

    It's like comparing Michael Redd to a prime Ray Allen.

    I watched the replay last night and halfway through the quarter I seriously questioned if I was watching the right game. Klay had maybe 10 points at the halfway mark. Did most of the damage in the last 5 or 6 minutes. Never seen anything like it.

    His first 50+ point game. Accomplished in 33 minutes.

    Just because Mathews or any other Blazers player wears the Blazers logo doesn't make him superior. And I hope to hell thats not how Blazers management sees it.

    Exactly. It was nuts. It was fun to watch. I was thinking the same thing "He only has 8 points and there's 6 minutes left". lol.

    Honestly Crabbe has the best shot at being Klay-esque, I'd love to see him get more looks.

    Willie Burton scored 56 points one.

    Just because Thompson had a better quarter doesn't mean he's a better player. I'm not saying he's not a better player, because he is. But, not by much.

    I dont care how many point klay puts up matthews is a hard worker and the manliest man the blazers have had in a while. I take him over any sg in the league right now.

    For a while I would have put them on about the same level offensively. Now Klay has surpassed Wes by quite a bit.

    Klays a better 3p shooter then wes. Wes is a better 2p shooter. Klay is shooting way better this year from 3 then he usually does. Klays impressed me by moving guys into the block a lot like mathews and be able to create his own shot more then previously.
    Thompson definitely has more upside then Mathews but im still giving it a little time to see if Thompson is just on a hot streak like Mathews was at the beggening of lasy year, before declaring Thompson hands and shoulders above Mathews.

    The game is not about only scoring. Wes leads the league in 3ptrs and plays WAY better defense than Klay. Klay is special offensively but I prefer Wes's game all around. Klay is also the 2nd option on his team and Wes is 3rd or 4th option on the Blazers
