* This *does not* include playoffs data. Klay shot about 38.5% in the playoffs last season, so it wouldn’t have affected the chart much anyways. * Klay’s definitely in a shooting slump, but he’s been here before. Right now he’s hovering around 38%. He’s dropped to around 38% several times in his career. In fact, he slumped to 35-36% for several months in late 2018/early 2019. * He’s always bounced back before, although this time he has been through injuries, so maybe there’s reason to believe something has fundamentally changed with his shot.
Overall, I don’t think there’s reason to panic about Klay yet. I spot-checked the charts of a few other shooters (Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Buddy Hield, Kyle Korver), and they’re all pretty high variance, all with periods of major slumping.
