Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson has made a name for himself thanks to his outside shooting prowess, and it looks like he has caught the eye of model Hannah Stocking.

Sports gossip website TerezOwens.com reports that Thompson and Stocking are dating. They both are featured on each other's Instagram and Twitter accounts:
Stocking is a former volleyball player for the Dominican University of California, where she was a biological sciences/chemistry major. She has gained a prominent following on social media thanks to her comedic Vine videos:
Stocking currently has over 695,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts her modeling photos. She also frequents Oakland, Calif., to take in a few Warriors games and was there as recently as this Wednesday.
Thompson is in his fourth year with Golden State and might be on the verge signing a maximum-salary contract extension. He averaged 18.4 points last season is one of the best three-point shooters in the league, with a career average of 41 percent from beyond the arc. Former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, who was fired in May after leading the team to back-to-back playoff appearances, said this week that he expects Thompson to be signed to a max deal.
"He's a guy that will make a boatload of money and in my opinion the best two-way shooting guard in the world, and it's not even close," the ESPN analyst said Wednesday in a conference call with reporters, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Thompson and point guard Stephen Curry are known as the "Splash Brothers" thanks to their outstanding shooting abilities. In the 2012-13 season, he and Curry combined for 483 three-pointers, the most ever by an NBA duo.
