Klay Thompson struggles to find rhythm with Dallas Mavericks

Klay Thompson's start with the Dallas Mavericks has faced criticism. The 34-year-old shooting guard, a former star with the Golden State Warriors, has struggled to fit in, with some noting that the team performed well without him. Thompson is averaging 12.6 points and shooting 38.1% this season, below his career averages. An anonymous NBA executive highlighted that Derrick Jones Jr., who played for the Mavericks last year, had better shooting and defense. Despite the challenges, the Mavericks remain optimistic about Thompson's potential. He has started every game he has been available for, as the team works to integrate him while he recovers from plantar fasciitis.
