OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The Golden State Warriors have exercised their third-year option on shooting guard Klay Thompson.
The announcement Thursday will keep Thompson with the Warriors through the 2013-14 season.
The 22-year-old played in all 66 games last season. He averaged 12.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 24 minutes to earn first-team All-Rookie honors.
Golden State drafted Thompson 11th overall out of Washington State. He led all rookies in 3-point percentage at 41 percent, and 3-pointers made with 111.
The Warriors open the regular season Wednesday night at Phoenix. Thompson is expected to start at shooting guard this season.

Thoughts??

Good.

I'm trying to think of a 1st round rookie which team's didn't exercise exercise their team option.

Anywho, it was a no-brainer.

Agreed. This is literally them going through the motions.

With the lack of elite shooting guard talent in the west, it isn't a stretch to call him a future all-star. Kid can score from anywhere on the floor.

I love Thompson and I am not disagreeing with you, but that is a bold statement sir. Especially considering the kind of numbers Monta put up without getting an all-star nod.

Thompson new age Reggie Miller, obvious pick up

Easy decision.
