Klay Thompson’s progression could be an enormous shot in the arm for the Warriors, who still may not have Stephen Curry back for the start of their first-round series against the Nuggets, Herring_NBA writes
Like any writer, I toy with a number of potential ideas and story subjects at any given time. A team that unexpectedly makes a splash or overachieves withouts its star player. A club that wildly underachieves or looks like it may be on its last legs. A player who looks rejuvenated and could take on added importance in the postseason.who in January returned to the Warriors’ lineup 941 days
—or just two and a half years—removed from his last live-game action. I planned to write on his struggles to find a rhythm within Golden State’s attack and the ways in which they were holding up the offense at times. The reason I held off: It felt premature. Obvious, even. We know it generally takes players—even elite ones—weeks or months to get their timing back after considerable time off due to injury. So I figured I’d tackle the topic once the Warriors reached the playoffs if what we saw from Thompson,Thank goodness I waited. Thompson finally appears to have found that rhythm, and has logged 41, 33 and 36 points over his last three contests, a span in which he’s banged in 21 of his 41 triples.
Thompson’s progression could be an enormous shot in the arm for the Warriors, who still may not have Stephen Curry back for the start of their first-round series against reigning MVP Nikola Jokić and the sixth-seeded Denver Nuggets. And even if they do have Curry, there’s still the fact that he, Thompson and Draymond Green have. Jelling would almost seem to be a necessity in order for the team to reach the heights it did during its dynastic run during the previous decade.
The likelihood of that happening seems far greater with Thompson looking more comfortable. Early on, much of the challenge with the shooting guard was that the ball was sticking in his hands a bit too long—something that was rarely a problem before Thompson’s injury, but, until recently, was noticeable to anyone who regularly watches the Warriors.
