JJ Redick is one of only four players to rank inside the top 20 in all-time 3-point makes and 3-point FG pct.
The other three: Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kyle Korver.
He’s unquestionably one of the 10 greatest shooters in the history of the sport. – 9:39 AM

Klay Thompson set to participate in “controlled drills” in camp. Return to full practice TBD.
James Wiseman set to “begin full jumping” Oct. 15, and do individual on-court activities in camp. Return to full practice TBD.
If the two stay healthy, are #Warriors title contenders? pic.twitter.com/9ip7s99m7l – 8:38 PM

For most of Klay Thompson’s NBA career, the Golden State Warriors often described him as “no maintenance.” Why? Thompson consistently shattered shooting records. He played in nearly every game. And he rarely complained. But after experiencing two season-ending injuries in 2019-20 (torn ACL in left knee) and 2020-21 (ruptured right Achilles tendon), will Thompson prove in the 2021-22 season that he no longer requires such hefty repairs? “I would be optimistic that he’s going to be able to get back and compete at a high level again,” said Dr. Michael G. Ciccotti, director of sports medicine and research at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute and an outside consultant for the Philadelphia Sixers, Eagles and Flyers. “But his ability to perform precisely at where he was before? That is something that only time will tell.” -via USA Today Sports / September 17, 2021
Although the Warriors haven’t given a timeline on Thompson’s return, medical experts said most players take around a year to improve their range of motion, strength and jumping abilities. That sets Thompson up for a possible return in November or December. “I think it would be harder for a player to come back from rupturing their Achilles first and then tearing their ACL second as opposed to how Klay’s injury was,” Kaplan said. “The Achilles tends to be the harder injury to come back from, tends to take a lot more rehab from and can be set back by a knee injury. Because Klay tore his Achilles tendon last, it gives him more time to recover and gives him a better ability to adapt.” -via USA Today Sports / September 17, 2021
