The coolest cats around: The Splash Brothers.
Steph and Klay have formed the best shooting duo in the NBA and are founding members of this new shooting bananza we’ve come to see across the league. Need a three? There’s Steph. Need lockdown D? There’s Klay. Need both? The crossing of skillsets between these two makes me wonder just how high their ceiling is. They’re young, fresh, and they’re taking on shooting like it’s a family reunion basketball game.
Steph and Klay are respectively 1st and 3rd in 3PTA, 1st and 2nd in 3PTFG, 6th and 18th in total points, and 8th and 9th in 3PTFG%.
That’s called making a splash.
