Over two preseason games, Thompson is averaging 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists, while shooting just 16.7% from the field and 27.3% from beyond the arc. However, neither Thompson nor the coaching staff is concerned. “He’s still a superstar, a future Hall of Famer, and he plays the game the right way,” Kidd said. “Klay works extremely hard, and he wants to be involved in every rep, even in his 14th season. It’s a new system for him, but he’s embraced it. His shooting, leadership, and championship experience are things we need, and he’s up for the challenge this season.” After the game, Kidd reiterated: “It’s preseason. He’s working his way through with a new group from both the defensive end and the offensive end. Be patient, keep working.”
