Klay Thompson is one of the greatest players in Golden State Warriors history, one of the greatest NBA shooters of all time. He owns the record for most points in a quarter, and he has 3 NBA finals. Klay Thompson has missed over 2 seasons of basketball, and he has been rusty with his return. The difference is he is actually having some big games, and he looks like he could get back to 100 percent probably by the end of the season. Klay hasn’t even shown us what it would be like to have him for over 30 minutes a game yet. When the Warriors get the old Klay, they blow out their opponents when they get rusty Klay they always lose. This goes to show the impact Klay Thompson makes for the Warriors. I believe that the Warriors could win the finals this year if Klay can produce 18-20 points a game soon. Klay is tough, and I could definitely see him doing that. Klay Thompson is a very clutch player who is always hitting big time shots at the right moments. He also is always able to hit a three that starts a Warriors run. During one of the recent games against the Nets Klay came up clutch. He and Curry have the type of chemistry that wins championships. Klay has been an underdog his whole career as people really believed when he was drafted early in the first round that the Warriors made a terrible mistake that they could never go back on and the Warriors at first thought that too when they offered the Pelicans Curry and Klay for a young CP3. The Pelicans rejected which was a big mistake because CP3 is one future Hall of Famer but Klay and Curry are two. This goes to show that the Warriors did get the right guy and they got a very nice player. The Warriors organization is great at drafting as they have used late round picks on guys like Draymond Green and Jordan Poole, but nothing has been better than reaching on Klay and taking a risk on Steph Curry. Klay has broken records and has done so much. These have to be all the reasons why I strongly believe that Klay will be able to get himself back on track very soon.
