Half of the "Splash Brothers" of the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson continue to struggle with his shooting percentage to start this early season of the NBA.
Just within two weeks since the NBA league has started and six games for the Warriors, Klay Thompson has been shooting 38% from the field and a miserable 20% from behind the arc. After proving himself to be one of the best shooting guards in the league, Klay Thompson's points per game average and free throw percentage are also down this year.
League analysts say that Klay Thompson's struggles from the field could be an effect from the blockbuster signing of former NBA MVP, Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunder during the off-season.
Despite a disappointing start from the three-point specialist and trade rumors happening around the online community, Hastag Basketball website reports that fans don't need to panic for Klay Thompson's woes as it is just the beginning of the season.
In an interview with ESPN, Klay says that he does not need to panic as it is still the month of November. The shooting guard also mentions his slow start during the last season.
Klay Thompson is currently third in field goals average for the Golden State Warriors, just behind Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. According to a statistical chart, Klay Thompson's most missed shots have come from open wide opportunities. Fans need not panic for Klay Thompson can explode as a scorer just as he once scored 37 points in one-quarter.
The other problem for the Golden State Warriors is chemistry as the team landed seven new players and sent away key players from their rotation during the off-season. Players like ZaZa Pachulia from the Dallas Mavericks, David West from the San Antonio Spurs and Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunder are some of the big names that are new on the roster. The team needs time to build chemistry with these new players in the locker room.
It is still November and Klay Thompson will be back on his shooting prowess in no time. Klay Thompson will start erupting in the field just as he does. As for now, Klay Thompson will continue to shoot and fans need not worry about it.
