Draymond Green warns against high expectations for Klay Thompson in Miami

Klay Thompson has joined the Miami Heat after a brief stint with the Dallas Mavericks, where he scored 12 points in a recent game. Draymond Green publicly cautioned against placing unrealistic expectations on Thompson, suggesting that comparisons to his peak years with the Warriors may set him up for failure. Instead, he likened Thompson’s new role to that of Ray Allen when he joined the Heat, emphasizing how Thompson can still contribute significantly if viewed fairly. Thompson himself welcomed the Allen comparisons and expressed his intent to focus on his role as a floor spacer. Miami opens its season on October 21 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
