Jimmy Butler vs Klay Thompson: Who's the best two-way guard in the league?

#4 Off-ball defense

Klay and Butler in action during the 2015-16 NBA season

A big part of the Warriors' switch-heavy defensive tactics is the fact that they have players like Iguodala, Draymond and Klay who can guard players at multiple positions, and not much thrown their way turns into a mismatch because help defense is almost always available.

Klay is one of those primarily responsible for this state of affairs, seeing as he never misses rotations, is always chasing his man off the ball and is ready to bail Steph out when the player he's guarding has gotten past the Chef.

Butler is pretty much the same kind of energetic presence, though he prefers to place himself on-ball against the opposition team's best perimeter scorer rather than be relegated to playing off-ball defense.

Edge: It's a wash
