Marcus Thornton is giving the Houston Rockets back court depth while joining his sixth NBA franchise on a one-year minimum contract.
The Houston Rockets have added back court depth by signing journeyman shooting guard Marcus Thornton to a one-year minimum contract.
Thornton saw a reduced role in Boston and Phoenix last season scoring 7.9 ppg while playing 15 minutes a contest.
The mutual attraction between the Rockets and Thornton likely stems from this stat: Thornton averages 4.4 attempted three point shots per game on his career.
Thornton's best season came with the Sacramento Kings in 2011-2012.
