Thompson has been one of many best perimeter shooters in NBA historical past, together with backcourt mate Stephen Curry. Collectively, they helped the Warriors win 4 NBA championships in eight seasons, beginning with the 2014-15 marketing campaign, and Thompson had quite a lot of enormous explosions within the playoffs when his staff actually wanted them.
Sadly, in the course of the 2019 NBA Finals, he tore his ACL, forcing him to overlook everything of the next season, and simply previous to the 2020-21 marketing campaign, he tore his Achilles.
When Thompson returned within the fall of 2021, he was diminished, not fairly the constant 3-point capturing menace he was, and his protection tremendously declined.
He’s now becoming a member of a Mavericks staff that simply misplaced the 2024 NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics and badly wanted extra offensive threats apart from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
Thompson will not be the participant he was, however he ought to have the ability to present Doncic and Irving with an efficient outlet whereas stopping defenses from keying on them.
