    He's kinda like Patty Mills. I think he should get minutes for sure.

    Thornton is an abysmal defensive player, and a high volume scorer. I expected when we signed him he wouldn't play unless somebody got hurt.

    He's basically Troy Daniels 2.0. He can shoot, so people want him to play, never mind he sucks at everything else.

    No he's not, you guys who keep saying he's a horrible defender are A) mad because he's better than KJ right now AND / OR B) not watching games and therefore think he's not that good since he's on a minimum contract

    False.

    Not a great defender but he's not horrible. Also Thornton can handle the ball and pass a little and create his own shot.

    Troy Daniels can't do that.

    No he is not. Dude scored 20+ ppg few years back. Troy Daniels has never done that.
