One awful season isn't enough for us to say that Klay is washed out already. What I will say though is that don't expect too much about him anymore because we know that he isn't the Klay we used to see many years ago where he can just catch and shoot anywhere he wants. The Mavericks are 3rd in three-points made last season, and they want to improve it by adding him. The question now is, can he fulfill his role there and will he be a starter? If yes, what position fits for him?
As for the SF role, they have Naji Marshall whom they just signed. Klay can be but he's too small for that role. He can either be a starting SF for the team or will be on the 2nd unit, and if that's the case, they might need to get another back-up SF.
After a long-running injury I wouldn't be confident of him to play like in the past of course. I have liked him because of his being a great shooter. His playing style reminds me of Ray Allen.

However the injury he got some years ago affected his career really negatively. His last season performance was not bad but not consistent enough as well.
I don't think he would be a good choice for SF role either. I don't think he has what is needed for this role in the first place now. I think he would be a bigger help by playing as SG.
I think the golden state warriors got stale last year and klay just needed a new environment. His injury history will limit him especially going into his 30s
but with his shooting skill and not being the primary 2nd option on the team should open up some shots for him.This is the question right now for Klay especially we saw that he has been inconsistent all throughout last season.
He's been inconsistent, and in the most important game of the whole team, he didn't score a single point which might affected him, and his value TBH.
I don't have any questions with regards to his shooting skills because he's one of the best no doubt. I have questions though about his consistency especially now that the team is expecting him to be an offensive threat hence, they acquired him. Aside from that, his injuries is also a question. Last regular season, he played 77 games though which is good, but you can't remove the fact that anytime, he can get injured because of his history. Overall, the Mavericks are good to have him as he can spread the defense of their opposing team. I'll just hope that he will be consistent because the Mavericks are just 1 step away from winning that 2nd title last playoffs.
