Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets - Game One
Klay Thompson at the postgame press conference.

Stat line: 28 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals on 9-of-18 shooting (6-of-15 3s)

So this is how great of a shooter Klay Thompson is. He was the team's second-highest scorer with 28 points but the general perception from the game would still be that he can do better. His three's in number (6) and efficiency are not bad (40%), it's just that we have come to expect more from him.

An underrated passer, there is always going to be more value to the points Thompson scores in this series because he is doing it while defending either Harden or Paul on the other end. With so much attention on KD and Steph, he's bound to be the Splash brother that is left open more often than not and not every game will he miss 9 while attempting 15 3s.
