There are Kings fans who think Marcus Thornton is better than Monta Ellis?
Offensively, Thornton is a better three point shooter but Ellis is a better scorer. While they are both obsessed with their scoring numbers, Ellis can create and pass better. So, on offense the edge goes to Ellis. I didn't see Ellis play much last year, but from what I remember in GS he didn't do well on defense. Thornton isn't a good defender also, so I guess that's a wash
Overall, Ellis is superior. By a comfortable margin. Sorry, talking to a fellow Kings fan who is a colleague and he swears Thornton is better.
