Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson has been in the shadows of fellow All-Star teammates Curry and Draymond Green all season. He is quite possibly the best player at his position and an argument can be made that he is the best two-way player in the game.

Without his backcourt mate for the end of their series against the Houston Rockets and the first three games against Portland, Thompson showed up and showed out.

In Game 1 of the series Thompson scored 37 points and added five rebounds and five assists. In the five-game series, Thompson scored over 30 points three times and he averaged 31 points.

Other Notable Shooting Guards

DeMar DeRozan, Toronto Raptors: DeRozan, like Lowry, has been criticized for his poor play during the playoffs. Although he did not score at an efficient clip, DeRozan’s 22.1 points per game vs. Miami was a big reason the Raptors moved on to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat: “D-Wade” has been fighting off haters calling the three-time champion “washed” for years and his outstanding play this postseason earned him a new moniker– “Father Prime.” In seven games against the Raptors, Wade averaged 23.8 points, including scoring outbursts of 38 and 30.
