re: Ed Daniels editorial on Marcus Thornton from june

I never understood the myth that "he likes to shoot alot", "he's a volume scorer", since Marcus Thornton came into the league he's always has been a guy that scored in the flow of the game, he scores by cleaning up the boards, getting ahead on the break for easy lay ups, steals and finishes and free throws. Marcus could gave 12 points and never take a shot.

He does like to shoot the ball anyore than any other basketball player regardless of level, hell just look at our team, wilie green, jarett jack, trevor ariza, i can't recall Marcus throwing up a "what the hell was that shot" but I.can recalling quite a few from belinelli.

People use to say if you started him, where would his shots come from with west and Paul, but guys like ariza, belli, green and jack should have been limited in shot attempts, he's your beat all around scorer next to Chris Paul, west would get his and Paul was going to defer to somebody, that meant that Marcus deserved 12-15 in any night.

He's not a chucker, he's not a guy who shoots a lot of 3s and can't make them, hes good at it, he can hit short jumper and attack the rim, he's not some scrub trying to become a star. He's unfairly labeled volume, when that's not his game, volume scores are not really good scores, they just put up points because they take so may shots they have end up with 25 or 30.

He gets his because he he can go 5-7 from three at any given time and get 12 without taking a jumper, then driving to the rim and hitting free throws.

He doesn't need 20 shots to get 22 points, and if he does end the game with 20 shots he was hot early and was.given the green light to keep shooting.
