Can Klay Thompson Match NBA's Elite?

The NBA has many elite players that can hit clutch shots, take you off the dribble, and can flat out shoot. I know the Warriors' Klay Thompson is going to prove to be able to do that, but first he needs to prove that he can guard these guys.

Does Thompson have what it takes?

The Warriors vs Lakers, and Warriors vs Heat games are going to be big for the Warriors. Thompson will have trouble guarding Kobe Bryant, or Dwyane Wade, but it'll be a learning experience for him. He'll likely end up in the post, angering the superstars.

If Klay Thompson is able to go head-to-head with NBA's better players, it'll be a momentous season for the Warriors. They finally have a guy who won't let you down, will produce consistence numbers, is of average height, and isn't injury prone. He is a hard worker and a brilliant player, who's already garnered praise from NBA's finest players. He should be able to matchup with elite players. His range is limitless, and he's working on taking the ball to the basket. Those are both areas that guards SHOULD excel in. Thompson has proved that he's a force to be reckoned with.

The Warriors really stole Thompson in the draft, and now, with a reloaded roster, they're hungry:
After the years of horrible management, Curry, Thompson, Lee, and Bogut are hungry for more than 82 games this season. They're bound to be hyped up and make it to the playoffs. If they want to do this, Thompson is going to have to put up some pretty big numbers on the season. If LeBron scores 38, he should score 31. 

A big moment will be the first Warriors, Lakers game. That game means a lot for the Warriors, seeing if they can make it to the post season, lead by the young stud. Can they do it? Comment below.
