#5 Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors): Age - 29, Unrestricted Free Agent
Klay Thompson has not been his usual this season. His three-point percentage has been in decline this season and he has suddenly been shooting so much more of the deep 2, which is a baffling change in his usual form.
Even if Kevin Durant is the main focus for the Warriors this off-season, Thompson is probably the one they should look to keep within the team rather than losing both their stars.

Klay, almost always, looks lost in shuffle playing alongside three other future Hall-of-Famers. But if the Warriors are not showing enough attention to him, be sure that other NBA executives have their eye on him.
Not only is he one of the league’s preeminent perimeter defenders, but he’s also one of the game’s greatest shooter. He is also very durable when compared to the other guards in the league.
This season, which is considered to be one of his bad ones, he is averaging 22 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2 assists a game, which is elite for most shooting guards. If for some reason, the Splash Brothers are torn apart, Thompson could very well emerge as an elite player if given the reigns of a team.
