Rather than sweat too much about Klay Thompson’s recent shooting woes, Rick Barry analyzed what the Warriors star could work on to break out of them.

Barry talked Tuesday with KNBR 1050’s The Audible about Thompson’s tough shooting luck, which has some concerned because of the Splash Brother has shot 38.8 in the playoffs entering Game 2.

“He’s struggling and he’s taking bad shots and he’s not executing. They just need to work on that, work on the timing … try to help him,” Barry said. “It’s something that can be fixed very easily. I mean, Klay Thompson’s shot is not disappearing, trust me.”

(He was just as confident when Stephen Curry struggled soon after Kevin Durant’s injury).

To be more particular, Barry believes Thompson can get hot if he tweaks the way he comes off screens.

“He’s a little off-balance and he’s a turned sideways on some. I just think that he’s pressing a little bit,” Barry said. “I think what he needs to do is, he just needs to talk to some of his centers so he’ll have better ball delivery, so that when he runs his guy into a screen, that the ball is there.”

Barry also added that the screening process is powered by both teammates.

“You put yourself in position to be a screener — it’s your teammate that does a good job by turning into a good screen by setting his man up properly,” Barry said. “The ball has to be delivered before you come off the screen, especially for a guy like Klay, so that if the ball is there and he’s stepping off, and the ball comes, he can turn and shoot it — there’s no way the defenders get anywhere near it. That’s not happening right now. They’re not executing well to get him the kind of shots to shoot the way he’s capable of shooting.”

If Thompson does get hot, Barry said and Warriors fans know, the guard can make anything. Related Articles Giannis Antetokounmpo wins second MVP award; Is an NBA title with Warriors next?

Coming into Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Spurs, though, the Splash Brother has had trouble in the postseason.

“I think he’s had poor shot selection,” Barry said. “If you look at it, he’s actually forced up some shots. he’s quick shooter, OK. but being a quick shooter when you’re open is one thing, bring a quick shooter with someone’s right in your face is another.”

Thus, the screen training.
