Should Klay have been named All-NBA over Wall or DeRozan?

The All-NBA teams were announced yesterday and nobody on the Golden State Warriors received enough votes to land on the All-NBA 1st Team. 

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant did land on the All-NBA 2nd team while Draymond Green was named to the 3rd team but the Warriors' fourth All-Star, Klay Thompson, was snubbed altogether. 

When asked about Klay being left off the All-NBA squad, Draymond told reporters, "it's bullshit."

Looking at the season stats, it's tough to make a case that Klay is any more deserving than guys like John Wall and DeMar DeRozan, who were selected to the All-NBA 3rd Team.

John Wall: 23.1 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 10.7 APG, 2.0 SPG, 45.1 FG%, 32.7 3P%, 23.2 PER

DeMar DeRozan: 27.3 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.1 SPG, 46.7 FG%, 26.6 3P%, 24.0 PER

Klay Thompson: 22.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.1 APG, 0.8 SPG, 46.8 FG%, 41.4 3P%, 17.4 PER

At least being left off the All-NBA roster didn't cost Klay tens of millions of dollars, like it did Gordon Hayward and Paul George.
