Klay Thompson is clearly the Heat’s best option at shooting guard

Alexy Berson of All U Can Heat argues that Klay Thompson remains the Miami Heat's best option at starting shooting guard. Despite Thompson going scoreless in 13 preseason minutes and facing fan skepticism, the writer contends his career-long three-point shooting consistency matches the profile head coach Erik Spoelstra historically prioritizes for floor spacing in the starting lineup.

Berson notes alternative options carry drawbacks, pointing to Tim Hardaway Jr.'s streakiness and bench value, alongside newly extended Pelle Larsson's 32.3% three-point mark last season. The writer concludes Thompson's perimeter shooting and experience make him the ideal starter over his positional competitors.
