"His rookie season, there was a game where Klay took too many 3s for Monta Ellis’s liking," DeGregorio told The Athletic. "During the next timeout, I remember Monta Ellis just ripped into this rookie: 'You’re taking too many shots. Pass the ball. You’re just a rook.' That type of deal.
"I remember watching Klay the whole time, and he never flinched. He never wavered. The very next offensive possession, ball swings, goes to Klay. He takes the first shot and makes a 3. I’m thinking, “This kid is an ice-cold killer.”
