3 Ways Klay Thompson’s return elevates Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson provides a moral boost for Golden State Warriors
For the most part, we know all of the tangible ways Klay Thompson will benefit the Golden State Warriors. Don’t worry, we’ll talk all about his productivity on offense and defense later.
What is a bit more difficult to measure, however, is the moral boost Thompson is going to provide.
It has been just under three years since Klay stepped foot in an NBA game. The Warriors have missed him — and his return is going to send a lightening bolt through this franchise.
Thompson’s debut is sure to be electric. His inevitable first heat-check will be another moment of euphoria. After that, it is hard to determine how long this moral boost will last? Can the Dubs carry momentum all the way into the playoffs?
This factor most likely depends on how good Thompson is when he returns and how quickly he can return to normalcy. A red-hot Klay in March would be all it takes for the Dubs to set the rest of the league ablaze.
