Rookie Al Thornton continues to progress as a professional basketball player, going 13-of-23 from the floor, 3-of-6 from the three-point line, and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line to score 39 points (a new career high) with three rebounds, two assists, and whopping FIVE steals on the evening. Thornton wasnt getting much time on the floor, but recent battles have pushed the Clippers to give their talented young rookie a shot. In his last three games, hes scored a combined 63 points with 14 combined rebounds. Its still too early to tell, but games like this suggest the talent is certainly there.

Thornton is going to be a bright note for the Clippers in the years to come and tonight is just a flash of his full potential. Hell be a key ingredient in the Clippers climb back to prevalence, but for now, he is too volatile for fantasy responsibilities.
