7. Klay Thompson

Entering the 2017 NBA Finals, Klay Thompson is probably the biggest question mark on either team. During the first three rounds of the playoffs, he just hasn’t seemed like his usual self. Interestingly, it hasn’t really mattered.

The Warriors are that good.

However, against the Cavs, it might. Golden State likely will need at least some contribution from Thompson in order to get past the defending champs. Through the first three rounds, Thompson is only averaging 14 points on 38 percent shooting from the field.

Specifically, against the Spurs in the Conference Finals, Thompson was exceptionally bad. He averaged 11 points on 32 percent shooting in those four games. Terrible.
