Marcus Thornton's contract isn't as bad as it seems
Sactown Royalty — All of Marcus Thornton's per-game numbers crashed in 2012-13 because one particular per-game number -- minutes per game -- crashed. Thornton went from 35 minutes per game in 2011-12 (the first year of his 4-year, $31 million deal) to 24 in 2012-13. He moved to a bench role as Tyreke Evans slid to shooting guard, which is the position at which Thornton started every game he played in 2011-12. That bench role came with a whole lot of inconsistent minutes: Thornton had 20 games with fewer than 20 minutes. He had two such games in 2011-12. But when you look at Thornton's numbers on a per-m...
Sacramento Kings May 7, 2013Thornton proves worth in second half
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Kings guard Marcus Thornton struggled to get going in the first half of this season, but he finally found his stride after the All-Star break. He averaged 14.6 points per game in 28 second half games, while shooting a blistering 47.0 percent from the field. After one of the team's late season games, the Sacramento Bee reported that the team was finding success in a smaller lineup, which allowed him to focus more on scoring and shooting, with other ball handlers on the floor. It's easy to play like that when you have guys that are unselfish like Toney and Isaiah, Tyreke (Evans) and those guys,"...

Nuggets at Kings recap: Lawson, Gallo, Faried carry Nuggets to sixth straight win
Denver Stiffs — The days of Chris Webber, Vlade Divac and White Chocolate holding court in Sacramento sure are long gone. In their wake is a mismatched team of could-be, would-be talents. And despite a monster game from backup shooting guard Marcus Thornton, the rested-and-waiting Kings weren't able to bring down the back-to-back-playing Nuggets in Sacramento on Tuesday night. That's six straight wins for Denver. And eight losses out of ten games for Sacramento. Two franchises heading in opposite directions. And one, sadly, possibly heading to another city altogether. Watching the 2012-13 Sacramento K...
