SYDNEY, Australia – It may have taken him a couple of weeks to settle in, but Marcus Thornton is growing in confidence as he looks to transition his deadly shooting game from college to the pros.
After being selected 45th overall by the Boston Celtics in the 2015 NBA Draft, William & Mary’s all-time leading scorer headed to Australia to play for the Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League.
Thornton connected on just over 31percent of his 16 shots per game during Sydney’s first six contests of the season, but the 6-foot-4 guard has found his feet during his latest four outings, scoring just shy of 21 points per game during that span.
