Why Stop at this year, take life time. It is well known few players start the year slowly. It makes sense to discount the start of the year. In statititics there're averages and then there are trends. It makes sense to look at trends to find out if something is breaking down instead of comforting oneself with long term averages.
If you want to try to make a nuanced point, you need to have more sophisticated dialogue than, "klay has been the only offense (this year)". That is what started this, and that statement on its face is ridiculous.
Even today when Lakers went on a 13-0 run , only Thompson could get warriors out of the slump, no one else could make a basket. Steph failed, so did all others.
If it is is a open shot Thompson is the best person to take it. Thompson is struggling with movement and defence though.
You can believe what you like, but the data doesn't back that up. If the closest defender is at least 4 feet away on a 3 point shot, our highest percentage shooters are Podz, Payton (small sample size), Curry, and then Klay. If the closest defender is at least 4 feet away on a 2 point shot, our highest percentage shooters are Kuminga, Curry, CP3, Wiggins (!), and then Klay.
"No, I meant if they are REALLY open!" If the closest defender is at least *6* feet away on a 3, our highest percentage shooters are Draymond, Saric, Moody, Curry, Quinones (smaaaaall sample size), CP3, and finally Klay. 6 feet away on a 2 (weird scenario/breakaway layups/dunks), our highest percentage shooters are Draymond, Moody, Looney, CP3, Saric, Kuminga, Curry, and finally Klay.
