Klay Thompson—NBA Champion, All Star, member of the famed “Splash Brothers”—has so far had an amazingly horrible time shooting the ball from the field in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. His best game, believe it or not, came against Australia, where he scored six points on 2-9 shooting (2-6 from behind the shortened Olympic arc).
What is it that ails him? Is it the different FIBA ball, which perhaps has a slightly different grip? Is it the shorter 3 point line? Is it a lack of cohesion with his teammates? Or is it just that he doesn’t have to dominate for Team USA to win each game, even if lately they’ve been winning ugly?
