Is Klay Thompson really the best shooting guard in the NBA?

Asked recently to choose the NBA's best player at each position, Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors went with a biased choice at shooting guard.

"I'm going to go with myself," Thompson told the Bay Area News Group. "We're 26-1."

Looking at metrics more advanced than Golden State's record makes it more difficult to justify picking Thompson as the NBA's best shooting guard.

So, who merits the honor instead?
