Shooting Efficiency
Klay Thompson demonstrated exceptional three-point shooting ability during the 2022-2023 season. With 10.59 three-point attempts per game and a 41.2% success rate, he established himself as one of the league's premier long-range shooters. His 58.4% proportion of three-point attempts relative to total shots highlights his specialized role as a perimeter scorer.
Role Definition
Thompson's statistical profile reveals a specialized offensive role with limited defensive contributions. His relatively low averages in rebounds (4.1), steals (0.7), and blocks (0.4) per game indicate a focus on scoring rather than all-around play. This single-function approach is typical for elite shooters who maximize their offensive impact.
Season Progression

Using a 5-game moving average, we can observe that Thompson started the season relatively slowly, peaked in the middle portion of the season, and then leveled off at a more consistent range toward the end. This pattern suggests both recovery from previous injuries and adaptation to the team's evolving offensive strategies.
