In a vacuum, yes.
But Klay is a one-dimensional offensive player nowadays, since he rarely tries to create his own shot anymore. For example, tonight he shot 14 threes and only 5 twos, and didn't get to the line once in 37 minutes.
Whereas Poole, for all his warts, can get to the rim, gets to the line, and sets up shots for other players with good passing...he shot eight free throws in 22 minutes.
It's never a good thing for the Warriors when they attempt more threes than twos, and tonight they attempted 50 threes and only 40 twos.
