It's easy to forget about Klay Thompson sometimes. He's overshadowed by Steph most days, doesn't speak much (unless you bring up Rocco), and often bears a resemblance to an Easter Island statue with his usual stoic demeanor.
He's been making his presence known though in some of these recent games and it's been harder to ignore what kind of season he's having, particularly when it comes to hitting treys.
During the 2014-2015 season, he sunk 239 three point shots. Last night, after draining 9 against the Dallas Mavericks, Klay sits at 246 for the 2015-2016 season.
That's a pretty impressive feat, especially when you're on a team with Threesus himself. As GSWStats shows us, Klay is currently sitting in the 5th spot for the most total threes made in Warriors' history (this was made right after he broke his record last night):

He's still 102 threes behind this year's "scorch the earth" version of Steph, who has 348 total, but he's fast approaching the #4 spot all-time, and there's a real possibility he could surpass Curry for the the #3 and #2 spots.
With 10 games remaining on the 2015-2016 schedule, Klay would have to average the following to break Curry's three point records from years past:
- to reach the #4 spot (ending with 262+), Klay would have to average 1.6 3PM/game
- to reach the #3 spot (ending with 273+), Klay would have to average 2.7 3PM/game
- to reach the #2 spot (ending with 287+), Klay would have to average 4.1 3PM/game
