Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr doesn't seem to be all that worried about Klay Thompson's shooting approach, despite the guard's recent struggles.
Thompson is doing just fine in averaging 21.0 points per game this season, but he hasn't been able to find a rhythm with his shot in recent weeks.
He's scored 15 points or less in five straight games, and he's had several games where he's shot less than 30 percent from the floor.
However, even with some of the ongoing issues, Kerr isn't too worried about Thompson's ability to turn things around.
And the Golden State coach even had a few jokes about being qualified to advise Thompson on his shot.
Here's what he had to say about Thompson's current situation, courtesy of Mark Medina of The Mercury News:

The Warriors are coming off the disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day, and Thompson is likely one of many players who want to get back on track in a hurry.
As Kerr mentioned, from a technical standpoint, there just aren't a lot better than Thompson when it comes to jump shooting. So, he will undoubtedly eventually regain his form and have one of his usual 40-plus point nights where he takes over a game.
He'll get an opportunity to do that on Thursday night when Golden State prepares for the first of back-to-back games against the Portland Trail Blazers.
After that, the Warriors will hit the road next Monday night for a showdown against the Phoenix Suns.
