Marcus Thornton was the most infuriating player on the Washington Wizards‘ roster this past season. Thornton, like many other high volume scorers, gives off the impression that he can put the ball in the basket every time he touches it.
The reality is, Thornton hasn’t been very good as of late.
After Gary Neal suffered a season-ending injury, the Wizards scooped Thornton up from the free agent market. Thornton was waived by the Houston Rockets after Daryl Morey failed to find a trade partner.
Putting up just under 10 points per game on an impressive 47 percent shooting from the field and 41 percent from three, Neal had become one of Washington’s primary offensive weapons off the bench.
