Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr knows what Klay Thompson needs to work on in his return.
It is still yet to be determined when exactly can Klay Thompson make his Warriors return. However, the All-Star guard already played full contact scrimmages on Tuesday.
Revealing how Thompson's scrimmages went down, Steve Kerr reckoned that shooting has not been an issue at all. However, the only thing needed to be improved is Thompson's “endurance.”
According to coach Kerr, Thompson should be able to work on his stamina as it certainly affects the quality of his shots.
“Especially early when he's scrimmaging, he's knocking down shots,” Kerr said of Thompson via NBC Sports. “But you can see fatigue set in much quicker than we will see in a month, in two months. The endurance stuff is really the key. With endurance comes the rhythm of the shot.”
“Obviously, Klay is a guy who, along with Steph, runs more miles than anybody in the NBA, you know, chasing ball-handlers, running off screens it's a lot of work. It's hard to shoot when you're tired,” he continued. “Hard to shoot when you don't have that endurance. So he's got a lot of build-up ahead before he can really get back to being himself.”
Thompson had earlier admitted that things will not come easy and it's gonna take some time before he can finally get back to old form. Until then, he will just be enjoying playing in front of the Warriors fans once again.
