Marcus Thornton sure does like to shoot. And my opinion is, the Wizards should just let him shoot. He has conclusively proved in previous stints around the league that he can be an effective (if tubby) volume scorer when given the green light to do so. His defense might be fairly abysmal, but as I’ve said before and will say right now and will continue to say until they slam the coffin lid shut on me, DownToBuck doesn’t care about defense. I can’t make “Kawhi Leonard 25 Defenses Full Highlights”.
In his brief time the Wizards, Marcus Tubbyton definitely has that green light, and for that I am grateful. Twenty shots per 36? That light’s greener than leprechauns overseeing a grow operation. The league needs a little reminder of what this dude can do when unleashed. Now the only thing that would make my life complete is if they unleashed J.J. Hickson AKA “Mr. 20 and 10 Probably” as well.
