5 Modern NBA players still true to their position

Shooting Guard (2) - Klay Thompson

A few years ago, two players devised a weapon of on-court mass destruction: the 3 ball. It is said that if you can shoot, you can play basketball and nobody does this better than Klay Thompson. Now there are other players who can shoot the ball really well but Klay has been doing it for so long with such unparalleled consistency in regular season and playoffs alike, that it's almost ridiculous to think of anyone who shoots the ball that well.

He's also a really underrated wing defender, easily one of the best in the league. He has enough tools to expand his offensive game. Being a taller guard means that he can post up smaller defenders and score easily. As he ages, he'll be using this a lot like a lot of players back in the day. Already a 2X NBA champion, Klay will only be on the up from here and keep knocking that shot down.
