While Klay, personally, has had a number of off shooting nights, as is common for him to start the season, his presence on the floor alone has significantly elevated virtually everyone else’s 3P% and in turn the team’s overall 3P%. Mavs average 37.2% from 3 w/Klay on & 31.2% w/Klay off.

Player by player 3P% impact with Klay on & off the floor:

It should also be noted that while he's having one of his patented slow starts (a hallmark of his career; this is nothing new or out of the ordinary), it's still been one of his best starts to a season in his career (see below), which in and of itself should put any panic about his overall percentages (which are comprised of a sample size small enough that a few really really bad nights can cause drastic fluctuations) into much needed perspective. Per the '3 Things to Know' posts from Mavericks' IG stories prior to yesterday's game:

Against the Pelicans, Klay recorded 19 points (6-15 FGs, 5-9 3FGs, 2-2 FTs), 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals. With five 3-pointers vs New Orleans, Thompson earned his seventh game with at least four 3s. That ties his 2017-18 season for the most games with at least four 3s through his team's first 15 games (7).

Klay is also well aware that he's been inconsistent to start, so there's no reason to think that he isn't aware that he needs to level out. This is a quote from Klay after the New Orleans game:

"I've been telling our strength coach how I've been through so many seasons like this, where you might be inconsistent from the arc, but it just takes one great day–one explosive night–for me to really get rolling."

Kidd and his teammates also couldn't sound less worried.

Kidd during his media availability Thursday:

"He could teach us all — in life, it's not always going to be perfect. He didn't shoot the ball well, but he did other things well, in that Oklahoma City game. But he came back the next time and made some. The life of a shooter.

He can help (Jaden) Hardy and Q. (Quentin Grimes) and those guys understand it's about the next one. We're lucky to have him. I truly believe those 1-for-11s will only make you better. And he's a future Hall of Famer and one of the best shooters in the history of the game that we can learn from. It's not always going to be 11-of-11. When you look at those games, it's the next one you judge. And I think he's bounced back every time he's had a tough shooting night."

Naji after the New Orleans game:

"Klay is Klay, man. The shots will start falling again eventually, and Klay gonna be Klay. He's a shooter. But also, like Kyrie, he just fuels the team and gives us the energy that we need."

Last but not least, here's what Spo had to say earlier today during the Heat's post-practice media availability when asked what having Klay on the Mavs does for them:

"He has that Hall of Fame shooting to where you always have to be aware of where he is on the court, because he can ignite at any moment."

Opposing teams and their scouting reports couldn't care less about his slow starts or if he just went 0/8, they will forever remain terrified of him and defend him accordingly, because as Spo rightfully pointed out, he can ignite at any moment.
