"I think it's bull----."

So said Golden State Warriors forward/mouthpiece Draymond Green upon learning that his teammate, Klay Thompson, was left off of the 2016-17 All-NBA team. But Dray wasn't done.

"What we win, 67 games or something like that," he kvetched to an assembled press pool. "I think it's pretty crazy. It's some guys on there, as scorers, averaging 20 points and don't have near as many wins as we have. You know, so how he could be left out. Also the way Klay can defend, I don't understand it, but I guess they gotta find some way to punish us."

Profanity aside, does Green have a point? Well, Thompson averaged a career high in points per game (22.3), which included a vintage performance last December 6, when he dropped 60 points in 29 minutes against Indiana.

And on the other end of the floor, the sharpshooter was often tasked with guarding the opposition's best backcourt scorer. Thompson was a busy dude, but does busyness equate to All-NBA status?

Depends on the competition.

In order to make the case for a player getting robbed of an All-NBA nod, you have to make a case that somebody who was voted onto the team has to go.

The guards who earned All-NBA honors over Thompson were James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Isaiah Thomas, Stephen Curry, John Wall, and DeMar DeRozan. Which of those six would (or should) get whacked in favor of Thompson?

Let's go deep into the numbers.

nERD-ing Out

If you're not familiar with Kevin Durant.

However, Thompson shines in effective field goal percentage and true shooting percentage, which adjust for three-point shots. That's also unsurprising, as Klay is primarily an outside gunner, whereas Wall and DeRozan make a living inside the three-point line.

Out of Klay's 17.6 field goal attempts per game, 8.3 came from downtown, as compared to Wall's 3.5 and Derozan's 1.7.

Thompson's box plus/minus, on the other hand, isn't so hot. Box plus/minus is an estimate of the points per 100 possessions a player contributed over a league average player, translated to an average team. Wall stands out in this category, ranking just outside of the top 20 in the NBA for 2016-17. Again, Thompson's low mark here stems in part from Curry and Durant's presence -- but still.

The Final Countdown

Wall and DeRozan get the edge in the individual numbers, but team performance has to be factored in. Thompson was a vital piece of a 67-win squad, while DeRozan and Wall's teams won, respectively, 51 and 49. Klay takes that category, easily.

So if team wins are important to you, you'll be on board with Draymond Green's loud, profane opinion that Thompson was a clear snub. If you're all about the stats, you likely agree with the media voters that Klay Splash is right where he belongs.
