On Dec. 25, 2011, Warriors guard Klay Thompson took to the NBA court to make his pro debut. Selected 11th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, Thompson recorded seven points and three rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench in the Dubs’ season opener against the L.A. Clippers. Thompson’s first-year performance continued to uptick with the guard eventually being named to the All-Rookie First Team in 2012.
Over his nine seasons with the club, Thompson’s skillset and NBA resumé have only grown, with the sharpshooter becoming a five-time NBA All Star (2015-19) and three-time NBA Champion (2015, 2017, 2018).
