It seems like the loss of Klay Thompson wasn’t felt by the Warriors at all.
In their preseason game against the Kings, Hield showed off his 3-point accuracy, hitting 6 of 7 and leading the team in scoring. If he can keep that up in the regular season, the Warriors are still a dangerous team, and who knows, they might find themselves back in the NBA Finals again.

I doubt though that the Warriors will be dangerous. Sure they still have some quality but most of the quality players are aging fast right now and a season is very long. 1 key injury and the Warriors can consider things and think about next summer's draft.

Hield is definitely not half the defender Klay used to be, but the trouble is Klay isn't the defender he used to be neither. The bigger difference comes from offense, Klay used to shoot threes like crazy, he would go nuclear, and he would shoot a ton, and now we are seeing him not have that type of crazy shooting anymore, the result looks different.
We should probably consider this as an upgrade for Warriors but barely. The biggest benefit they got is Hield is younger, meaning they will get this level of output from Hield for many years, whereas Klay got older and came back from injury, so he is not great anymore and getting older and worse. The best approach here is try to adjust Hield into Warriors system as quickly as possible.
