Many of the players who have played for the Warriors will show signs of declining stats after leaving the Warriors, because they will face more defensive pressure and more individual tests after they leave the Warriors' system, so their shooting percentage will naturally decline. There are even players who slowly fade out of the league after leaving the Warriors and choose to retire.
However, there are also some players who have not suffered much from the field after leaving the Warriors, and most of these players are very individual players, such as Durant. No matter what kind of defense Durant faces, he can complete an efficient offense. So even if he gets an easier shot with the Warriors, he can hit the ball steadily even in the face of tougher defense after leaving the Warriors' environment, which is a reflection of his individual ability.
After Thompson left the Warriors this season, when we take a closer look at his stats, we also see that his three-point shooting percentage has improved. In fact, Thompson's three-point shooting percentage was still good last season, reaching 38.7%. And this season, after joining the Mavericks, his three-point shooting percentage has also improved, reaching 39.1%. That's just over 20 games, and he'll probably be shooting more than 40 percent from three-point range by the end of the season. In other words, a player of Thompson's type didn't affect his shooting percentage because he left the Warriors' system, and even he got better shots with the Mavericks.
With Irving and Doncic's strong breakaway ability as a check on the Mavericks, Thompson can get more open shots. At present, his shooting ability in the open position is still very strong, so when there are more opportunities to shoot in the open position, his shooting rate will naturally increase. One statistic Thompson has ranked first in the league this season, and that is his three-point shooting percentage in the final quarter. Thompson shot 51.2 percent from three-point range in the final quarter of the season, the highest in the league.
In fact, a player of Thompson's type can do a good job of three-point shooting when he goes to any team in the league. For example, the Lakers are also interested in acquiring Thompson in the offseason, and if Thompson is with the Lakers this season, he can also shoot very well from the field. Because Davis has a strong ability to attract defense on the inside, he will sometimes face a trap, while Thompson will get open shots on the outside. Including James's ability to create open shooting opportunities for teammates is also very strong. So Thompson's type of player is a jack-of-all-trades player. He's got a lot of catch-and-shoot ability, and he's very fast, so he can shoot three-point shots to any team.
