the whole "start or come of the bench" crap is overrated.
starters spend the first 6-7 minutes of the game playing together.
the other 43 minutes is filled with substitutions and various other lineup combinations.
sure its nice to have someone push the tempo and score some points when the starters take a break, but having your best players on the floor is pretty important also.
Manu Ginobli gets a ton of minutes... but he doesn't start... yet he plays with the starters for 95% of the time he's in the game.
why not just start the dude?

I think you answered your own question, very well in fact.
Combine your post with the OP and you have one great answer to the whole issue.

I think we're at a point where Thornton might need to come off the bench much earlier in the game more consistently. The way things are looking, Thornton needs to get half of the available minutes at SG and SF when Monty plays those small ball sets.
Let Belinelli, Jack, and Green, when he comes back after his family loss, get what's left.
