Thompson is both a prolific and efficient shooter, particularly from range, as well as an elite free-throw shooter. His shooting form has been described as "textbook" and "picture-perfect".[114][115] Though he is capable of handling the ball in the Warriors offense, Thompson is primarily a catch-and-shoot player, taking advantage of back-cuts and screens set by teammates to make space for his exceptionally accurate quick-release shot.[116] Although Thompson is not known for blocking shots or creating steals, he is considered a strong defender thanks to his size at the guard position and ability to defend against both elite guards and wings.[117][118] He is also praised for his stamina.[117] Thompson is also known for his quiet, laid-back personality, rarely showing emotion in or out of games.[119] He is one of the few players in the NBA sponsored by Chinese shoe company Anta, signing a 10-year deal with it in 2016.[120][121]
