    Again Thornton has been the 6th man most of the season and right now is the backup PG for Collison so obviously there will not be much development for him

    He didn't do much defending against Thornton in their last matchup.

    New Orleans is a PG oriented offense. The SG in their offense is NEVER going to develop. Live with it.

    He defended enough in college to be a 3rd overall pick, maybe Thornton should have defended more.

    Thornton didn't fall because of his defense and you have no information regarding his defense. He basically fell because of his height.

    That's not true. Again, Thornton is playing PG at this time because of the injury to CP3. But I guess that won't help his development.

    He has alot of freedom in the Hornets offense. Basically, he's been our first legit SG since the team came to New Orleans unless you want to count JR Smith's rookie season.

    Thornton also took a LSU team that was expected to be below average to win the SEC conference and take his team to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament before losing to a stacked UNC team.

    The SEC was a joke in basketball last year, James Harden took ASU to the 2nd round as well, something that hadn't been done at that school in a LONG time. Harden was voted one of the top 5 players in the country AS A SOP RE. Thornton wasn't.

    That doesn't mean he will be a better pro. Right now Thornton is playing better.

    Exactly.

    This argument over rookies is getting pretty stupid.

    Did anyone notice the +/- stats for the game? it's pretty strange. I always thought there might be a little credibility to the stat, but this is insane:

    Basically it proves that OKC's bench is a big problem.

    The Hornets' GM would trade Thornton for Harden in a second if it was proposed to him.
