Klay Thompson

Warriors star Klay Thompson is usually on fire from beyond the arc. If anybody was supposed to have the best edge or be favored heavily in a contest like this, it’d be him.

However, things took a very different turn when Thompson scored just 18 points.

He was out of the top three and didn’t make it to the final round — safe to say he could have done better.

Finishing fifth, Thompson will return to business after the All-Star game to try and get the Warriors ready for a big playoff push and possible third straight trip to the NBA Finals.
