Thornton has always been one of the most inconsistent players in the NBA; this week was a great example, as he had a game of 42 points to start the week and a game of just 2 points to end it. If the Kings are forced to play without Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins, they will become more reliant on the talented Thornton to be a top point producer. If you are looking for a flier with a ton of upside, Thornton should be your guy.
