When a player has only 0.5% and-1 frequency, you can understand the difference in his style of play. Thompson is not our tradition box to box guy, instead, he is the biggest nightmare for defenses in 2 vs 1 situation. To leave a player open under the basket, or leave arguably the second best three-point shooter open. This is just like saying, choose your option to get killed.

Thompson is scoring 1.42 points per possession! That's just like playing a video game. Because of Thompson's love for 3-pointers, there is a huge difference between his effective field goal % and the shooting %. His effective field goal percentage is 75.3, just below Gary Harris.(Players with minimum 3ppg in transition)

Klay Thompson makes GSW one of the best transition teams in the NBA right now.
