Houston Rockets Must Find Minutes For Marcus Thornton

With Houston Rockets power forward Terrence Jones set to return to action Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets, the Rockets will look to manage their rotation so that guard Marcus Thornton can continue to thrive on offense.

Being the most effective offensive weapon behind James Harden so far this season, the Rockets will need to find quality minutes for Thornton whether he continues to start or comes off the bench. Averaging 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, Thornton has played an important part in each of the Rockets 4 wins.

From beyond the arc, Thornton has shot an impressive 40%, establishing himself as the Rockets go-to-guy when they need a quick three to end a shooting drought.
