Klay Thompson Honestly Grades His First Dallas Mavericks Season

Klay Thompson will go down as one of the best players in NBA history.

After 13 years with the Golden State Warriors, the future Hall of Famer just finished his first regular season playing for the Dallas Mavericks.

Thompson had averages of 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 41.2% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range in 72 games

Via Mavs Film Room: "Klay Thompson played in 72 games, averaged 14 PPG, & shot 39.1% from 3 on 7.7 attempts per game.

That’s about everything the Mavs could have expected from him when they bamboozled him into signing here and then pulled the rug from underneath him."

On Monday, Thompson was asked to grade his season.

Thompson (h/t Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints): "My season individually? I'd give it a B. I thought I shot the ball decent. Nearly 40 from three. I'm really grateful to play in 72 games and be a consistent presence in the lineup. That's something I can really hang my hat on."

I asked Klay Thompson about his first regular season with a team other than the Warriors.

After smiling and thinking about it, he gave his first season with the Mavericks a “B” grade.#MFFL pic.twitter.com/RXv7bwPLQg
