Marcus Thornton with the best point guard in the game.
the only problem with him at the 2 spot is he is only 6'4 if that, and the other 2's are pretty damn huge tmac 6'8 kobe 6'6 lebron although he plays whatever he wants 6'8,

LeBron plays the 3. But that's the only knock on Thornton is he isn't 6'5+ he's 6'3.5. Not too short to play the 2 but on the extreme end of just acceptable. Ben Gordon is quite the starter at the 2 and is maybe 6'2. Obviously the problem lies in defense, which Thornton really improved upon last year.

If Thornton can play tough defense he should definitely start. We know he can score. Butler would be better as a backup.
