It’s hard not to root for Klay Thompson considering what he’s been through — and how he’s bounced back this season after so many (including some of his own fans) wrote him off as washed.
Many considered Thompson to be quite a one-dimensional offensive player. Granted, that one dimension happens to be really, really good, but there was little room for growth beyond that singular skill set — at least, that’s what many people (including yours truly) thought.
Thompson’s responsibilities have grown beyond being an off-ball threat and catch-and-shoot merchant, especially during the stretch where Steph Curry was sidelined with ligament sprains.
