Tier No. 2

. . Klay Thompson. 3. team. 41.

Klay Thompson is easily on a tier of his own, but for the four-time all-star, he’s still on a tier below his two superstar teammates. Just like Green, Thompson has struggled this season, something not typical of Thompson.

He has snapped back though, averaging over 20 points per game for the fifth consecutive season. However, Thompson’s 45.3% is the lowest of the last five years which should be alarming for the Warriors.

For Thompson, he’s securing a career-high in rebounds per game and steals per game. Those are two huge categories that Thompson is excelling in. His impact has separated him from the pack, and he’s clearly the Warriors’ third option.

One thing that Thompson does have on Durant and Curry is the team-high in single-game scoring. Thompson’s 52-point eruption was one of the highest totals of the season. Let’s also not forget his 14-three performance.

Thompson has earned his spot on these rankings.
