This year Klay is shooting 39.7/35.6/100.
Even the 100 from the line is bad because he's averaging only 0.8 free throws a game, less than half his career average of 2.1
His career lows are 42.2% FG (2013) and 38.7% from three last year, his first time shooting under 40% from three in a season where he played more than half the games. 42/39/80 are his worsts from three different years.
Career averages 45/41/86.
The Dallas Mavericks haven't exactly charged out of the gates, but that has more to do with Luka Dončić's shooting struggles and some lapses in transition defense (especially off live rebounds) than anything else.
That said, Thompson is posting the worst three-point percentage (35.6 percent) and second-lowest scoring average (13.6 points per game) of his career through the season's first few weeks while doing little to dispel concerns about his defensive mobility.
It's at least encouraging that his presence on the floor seems to still be beneficial to his teammates, as the Mavs have a higher offensive rating with him on the court than off. That data can be noisy, though, and Thompson is still forcing a few too many shots in an effort to get himself on track.
It's fair to say Thompson hasn't been a transformative force in the early going, and that he hasn't regained the step or two he lost in his final season with the Golden State Warriors. Dallas had better hope that changes come playoff time.
