Klay Thompson Credits Teammates

By HOOPSWORLD

With Monta Ellis long gone, the onus was always going to fall on second-year shooting guard Klay Thompson to pick up a bigger portion of the scoring burden in Golden State, and so far he’s done precisely that, averaging 16.4 points. He’s the third highest-scorer on the team, posting almost four full points a night more than his rookie campaign.

However, he gives little credit to himself and instead praises Stephen Curry and David Lee for being so good (and healthy) that other teams have to focus on everyone other than him.
