Ruby Klay , Ruby Wade or someone else?

[kabamaru]

Hey guys,
I want a backup for my SG and SF.
. I used to rotate LBJ/Kobe/Durant at SG/SF but I opened an allstart game pack (with mobile myteam app VC points) and I got ruby Klay.
So now I will start LBJ as PG with Kobe at SG and Durant at SF.
Lillard who until now was starting will be benched. So the question is who to rotate in SG/SF given that he will be a bench player so I do not want to spend tons on MT ( I have 20K left plus all I can get if I sell Klay)
As I see it:
Klay :
+ plays SG/SF and is 6'7''
+ is a killer 3 point shooter
-Has very limited badges
- Doesn't drive very well ( I use drive a lot)
D-Wade:
+ Full of badges
+ Drives better
+ much cheaper
- Not a good 3-point shooter or even free throws
- is 3 inches shorter
- plays only as SG

So who would you propose? Any other options like Glen Rice/Mullin/Ray Allen(don't know if I can afford)/Fully badged harden?

Thank you for your feedback guys

Why mate? LBJ is actually a point forward. He plays MANY times point guard in game irl and in the game has tremendous passing stats. So why waste any of Ruby Kobe or Durant on Bench?

as i told you in PM you'd better use him as PF, he will be more useful with his speed.

I have tried but he was always outrebounded. Same with Durant. So I play with Duncan/Davis depending the opposition PF. Do you have any proposal on the original question?
Thanks again

It depends on your type of game.
For me Klay is an absolute beast but would be good as a sub.

By all means use LBJ at point guard. If you use someone with speed he will blow past him. Also, LBJ is not very good if you know how to defend the baseline and cut off his 3PT hot spot on the wing.

Mate I am not sure I understood. You are telling me to use LBJ as point guard or not?

LBJ is fine as a PG. I did it before I got diamond lilard and never had a issue.
Defensively he shut people down unless it was a fast PG like wall then I'd just user Bron and cut off drives.

Offensively I'd mainly use Bron as a Passer and only shoot if he was wide open or post up
It works really well and I don't consider it cheese the way I use him and since he's a point forward

I'm saying that go for it, but it's not like its super cheesy because it can be stopped. If you want Kobe, Durant, and Lebron in your starting 5, by all means.

Thank you all
I am going to try
But in the original question, since Lillard will be LBJ backup, who should I buy to by the back-up for Kobe and Durant?

Re: Ruby Klay , Ruby Wade or someone else?

Well if you already have cutters and other guys that can create for themselves (Lebron, Lillard) and more specifically people that can drive and kick, then I would suggest Klay.

As a catch and shoot guy he's a beast. He's not great at creating for himself but he can finish around the rim if you run a 1-2 P&R or even a 3-2 with him rolling to the basket.

I just got him, put him into my line up and decided to push him, see how much he could do. Normally I wouldn't cheese at all, I don't like it. But I wanted to see just how overpowered his long range and mid-range shooting was.

As you'll see... it's pretty damn good.

Spoiler

I haven't played with Wade so I can't comment on him, not even sure what the difference in price is.

It's also worth mentioning Klay is a very good defender.

Re: Ruby Klay , Ruby Wade or someone else?

Ruby Klay for sure, he'll be a better fit. Your lineup is lacking pure shooters. In RTTP you'll be facing a lot of zone so you need guys can knock down them open 3s. Klay adds a different element vs Wade who is basically a down graded LBJ and Ruby Kobe.

LeBron
Klay
KD
TD
D12

Will be deadly vs zone users. LBJ as main ball handler driving and finding the open man.

Klay is the best shooter i've used this year, you have to take what the defense gives you though. Don't try creating shots on your own.

12/14? Jesus! Nothing such big for me but in his first games he has been really good. I think that he really completes the rest guard/forward line with Diamond Durant/LBJ and Ruby Kobe. However I must admit that Ruby Kobe is the best player I have used. It is just impossible to be stopped. He has very good ball control so he can dribble until he finds his opponent off-balance and then when he drives he either scores a layup or draw a foul. Now Klay is also a great solution to kick out if defense is on Kobe. I really don't understand why anyone with 50k available would not go for Ruby Kobe. He is 10 times better than LBJ and Durant offensively and fully badged with an easy release (I don't use the meter) I have added also a gold dimers badge and he is lethal. For sure poor man's Jordan
