Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors has been justifiably chastised for his play this season, but the sharpshooter is working hard to fix the wrongs as he and the organization look for some consistency and momentum.

Thompson is having his greatest season since being benched for the last six minutes of last week’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. Since then, the five-time All-Star has put up 30, 24, and 28-point performances to quell the skeptics.

Klay Thompson’s passing and overall decision-making have been standouts in the Golden State Warriors’ last three games.

The 33-year-old’s increased scoring has gotten a lot of attention, especially on Sunday, when his 28 points helped the Warriors beat the Portland Trail Blazers despite only seven points from fellow splash brother Stephen Curry.

But it’s not only that his shot is starting to fall. Thompson’s improved patience and decision-making have contributed to this end result, which has shown up in more than just the scoring department.

Thompson had nine assists and just one turnover in the last three games, which may not seem like much, but it’s an important factor given that he had seven assists and 12 turnovers in his prior six games.

The four-time winner is playing much more simply and letting the game come to him. If you have an open shot, take it. If not, the ball should be moved on. If two men charge at him on the perimeter, find the roller and let the offense capitalize on an outnumbered scenario.

Of course, some of it is due to shooting variance; Thompson has made 17 of his previous 31 (54.8%) three-point shots. That won’t last, and neither will the career-worst numbers he was shooting at to begin the season.

Fans will have to accept the outcome of Thompson’s shooting if the process is followed correctly. When he forces the play, things go wrong, and he might be labeled a “ball-stopper” and accused of “chucking shots.”

The last three games have served as a reminder of Thompson’s capabilities, namely that, while he may not be the same player defensively, he remains one of the league’s most potent and dangerous shooting threats. Building consistency will be critical as the Warriors look for a long-term replacement for Curry.
