Thornton is not overrated, this guy is actually underrated and a very prolific scorer. The reason he's averaging 16.8 points in 14.8 fg attempts was because of the injuries that occured this whole season. At one point, with zach randolph, baron davis, kaman, and camby out, the two best scorers were gordon and thornton, which the clippers turned to thornton as the go-to guy. So even though those statistics are his average, there's a reason behind it. On top of that, thornton can create his own shot - something that the spurs desperately needed this post-season because bonner, bowen, udoka, all those guys can't. I would LOVE to have thornton on the spurs to give us that extra offensive kick.
