The Golden State Warriors got off to a strong start before hitting a bit of a brick wall.
They’ve dropped three games in a row and four of the last five, and a lot of that has had to do with subpar shooting performances.
Notably, Klay Thompson hasn’t been as efficient as he usually is.
However, as worried as some could be because of that, he believes it’s just a matter of time before some positive regression to the mean, stating that he’s going to be “lights out” in his next ten games after not shooting well in his first ten (via Anthony Slater and Legion Hoops).
Klay Thompson on his performance:
“First 10 games I didn’t shoot it as I’m capable, so the next 10 games I’ll be lights out.”

That wouldn’t be much of a surprise, as Thompson is a career 40% shooter from beyond the arc and one of the greatest shooters of all time.
The Warriors’ starters not named Stephen Curry are combining for fewer than 50 points per game this season, and that’s obviously an issue.
Draymond Green and Kevon Looney have never been known for their offensive prowess, but Thompson and Andrew Wiggins need to step up and give their superstar point guard a helping hand.
It’s too early to panic, and they’ve shown glimpses of great play, especially defensively.
But Curry needs his fellow Splash Brother knocking down shots for this team to thrive and perform at the level they’re used to performing.
The good thing is that Thompson’s confidence remains unwavering and he knows he’s more than capable of shooting his way out of this slump and slow start to the season.
