Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson believes that Klay Thompson is a "top-five shooting guard".

The 23-year-old has been in impressive form so far this season, helping the Warriors to a 8-3 start to the season.

"He's a top-five [shooting] guard, and I'm being respectful," Jackson said, according to San Jose Mercury News.

Thompson is averaging 20.9 points per game and is shooting 55% from the field, and 51% from beyond the arc.
