Al Thornton has proved that he is committed to the team. What can we expect from him this year?

Um, points and...well, points? Maybe his D has improved from his better diet.

Expected: Slashing, high-difficult degree jumpers, and the BEST put-back dunks.
Would love to see: Defensive improvement, higher basketball IQ, and improvement on his range.

Al Thornton was yanked from the starting lineup to begin the second half on Monday, replaced by red-hot Rasual Butler.
"Rasual's ability to move the basketball, shoot the ball from range, stretch the defense and make good decisions with the basketball was a big part of the decision," said coach Mike Dunleavy. In other words, Butler is a versatile player, whereas Thornton is mostly a scorer. Keep an eye on this battle, but right now Thornton looks destined to be a reserve.



YAY!

Starting off the bench, bricking fade away jumpers, a couple monster dunks, poking out someone's retina.
