The NBA season is still over a month away, but Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Klay Thompson is already doing whatever he can to excel in his new role of being one of the team's leaders.
Earlier this summer, Thompson made it clear that he wants to step up as a vocal leader, and this is something that he never had to do over his 13 years as a member of the Golden State Warriors. Players like Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala were the leaders of the team, and while Thompson was still considered a leader, he wasn't a vocal leader.
