Thompson addresses the crowd after making a 3-pointer against the Suns

Who is the best shooter in Golden State Warriors? The easy, obvious answer would be Stephen Curry given his 2-time MVP credentials, and the fact that he has the 4 best 3-point shooting seasons in NBA history.

But the unbiased, unequivocal answer for not only Golden State, but the entire NBA this season would be Klay Thompson, who is shooting the lights out of every building he plays in. Making 3.2 out of 7.1 attempts per game, Klay is averaging an otherworldly 44% for a volume of shooting that would make even the likes of Ray Allen dizzy.

Klay Thompson is the model player for any franchise to have. He has a no-fuss attitude, as his interview after dropping 60 on the Pacers in three quarters demonstrated to fans.

He's always running, setting screens and getting open to knock down the wonderful looks generated by the likes of Curry, Draymond Green, and Durant, while he hounds the opponent's best scorer on a nightly basis.

Golden State might have 2 MVPs on their starting lineup, but they would not be title favorites without Klay Thompson, who is the best 2-way player at the shooting guard position in the league after Jimmy Butler.
