Marcus Thornton

Jab steps, etc. It's all good. The man shoots 49% from the field, with 39% from 3 and a 57% TS. That puts him 3rd on the whole team below Josh McRoberts, whose makes are usually around the basket, and Mike Dunleavy, who is at the end of the day a good shooter. Add to that the fact that his turnover rate per possession is 6th on the team below guys like Posey, Foster, and Tyler, and you have one of the most consistent and efficient offensive players we have. Not to mention that he has the 3rd best per-36 points per game right below Danny and Tyler.

I honestly don't see the circus shots you're talking about as much as I see solid midrange jumpers and corner 3's that have been falling this season. The man rightfully thinks of himself as a legit offensive option off the bench, and coach is okay with him taking those shots.

I've seen a fair share of ugly looking shots inside. Sometimes they go in and other times they arent close, but that's not the point. I'm fine with him taking his shots when he's open, but the drive into 4 guys and throw up a tough shot hoping for a foul when we have plenty of other options on the floor with him is not OK with me. Especially for a guy who was brought here for defense.

He doesn't do that any more than the rest of the team. Granger is always throwing up contested layups looking for the foul. Same with Tyler. Same with Collison. Same with Price. George has put up some confusing shots inside, but I'll tolerate those since he's a rookie. It's called drawing a foul.
