September 19, 2024 by Hoops Hype

Some may wonder, will Thompson’s presence as a sharpshooter for hire be comparable to Ray Allen during his time with the Boston Celtics or the Miami Heat?  Or will he be more Reggie Miller-like?  Worth noting: Thompson changed his number from 11 to No.31.  That’s Miller’s number. Perhaps he could channel the Pacers legend.  “I think he’s gonna be more Klay Thompson,” said Baron Davis.  “He has the opportunity to put up big numbers when you look at that team and a lot of those wide open shots that that position was getting; everybody that played the 3-position in Dallas this year like PJ Washington who played the 3 and the 4 got a lot of corner threes. And you look at Tim Hardaway Jr., he was getting a lot of threes and he was getting a lot of looks. Now you’re putting Klay Thompson in that space? Klay is a player that you can run plays for on a pin down and he’s also someone that can get his own shot. So I feel like the pressure on him and I think the pressure on him that was on him being the counterpart and the savior to Steph when he faced a lot of injuries, now I think a new fresh start gives him the opportunity to have a clean slate and a player like that with a clean slate determined to prove himself with those two guys on the wing and then you got PJ Washington and those other great glue guys for him? It just takes the unnecessary attention from him for where now he can implement what wants to attempt.”
