With KD coming back so well from the same injury, I just don't think Klay will have the same fortune. His shooting will never go away but I'd worry about his defense. I hope my gut is wrong.

I'm rooting for him, but everyone should keep their expectations in check. Combine that with the payroll situation in Golden State, and it's going to be hard for them to improve. I personally think they can still be good but their glory days are over.
What people totally forgot is that KD took a 18 months "break/preparation" from his Achilles injury. Dwight Powell 18 months from the injury would been in a month from now.
Klay literally have to skip another full season to be on the same time table as KD. As good as Durant looked, its never been mentioned anywhere.
