Player: Klay Thompson

Position: Shooting guard

Height/weight: 6-7, 215

Age: 26

Salary: $16.66 million (Year 2 of four-year contract)

2015-16 in review: After a relatively slow start, Thompson had his best season, raising his scoring average (22.1) for the fifth consecutive year while also shooting his highest percentage (47.0) from the floor and grabbing a career-high 3.8 rebounds per game. He had four games of at least 40 points and another 13 with at least 30.

2016-17 outlook: With the addition of four-time scoring champ Kevin Durant, Thompson can use movement and a variety of screens to get more open looks than ever.
