“We feel like we have a good shot at keeping him,” Ujiri said, per a transcription fromAlex Sexeiro of Fan 590. “DeMar knows how much we love him.”

One thing I have noticed, is that the Raps seem comfortable packing the paint, and are susceptible to that cross court pass for a 3. You have no idea how many times I've sworn on Demar for "cheating" in the paint, while he was guarding a 3pt shooter on the weakside. Even if he closed out well, one or two more passes usually resulted in a clean look. I'm not sure if this is a Demar thing, or a Raps thing, but it bugs me. I just don't see the value of weakside defenders cheating towards the paint. Does it really deter penetration?twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Defensive FG%-wise, Klay is better than DeMar. Defending three pointers, which is the most 'on-an-island' perimeter defenders get, is where DeMar struggles most, giving up +7% over guys' season averages. At this same distance, Klay gives up -7% against season average. There's a 14% difference between what guys shoot on 3s guarded by Klay vs. DeMar.
Can't just cherrypick statistics like that, and as others pointed out, by this measure guys like Butler are "bad defenders" so clearly it makes no sense whatsoever.

Here's a nice little article on how DeMar remains such a great offensive player without a 3 point shot.

Really highlights how he's top 3 in the league in things like post up efficiency for guards, distance travelled on offence and drawing fouls.
