As for Klay, he is a future Hall of Famer but is no longer the borderline superstar that he once was.

This past year, the former Washington State star averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range in 77 games (64 starts).

Thompson was the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, and has helped the Warriors win four titles since the 2015 season.

They are coming off a year where they lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament.
