OAKLAND – Argue about his value on defense. Debate the consistency of his focus. Question his judgment about dribbling in traffic. Ponder the source of his supreme mellowness. There is much to contemplate about Klay Thompson’s game.
The one element that has defied dispute was his jump shot. It’s the prettiest in the land and the closest thing to Rolex reliability in the NBA.
It might occasionally stray, but Thompson’s picture-perfect form always has come back to faithfully serve its master.
That is, until this season. Three months since the Warriors opened training camp and 35 games into their regular season, Thompson’s jump shot is as erratic as a flag in a tornado.
