Any chance we try a draft and stash with Marcus Thornton?

[Rick Robeys Return]

After the Thunder did it with their first round pick last year, I know it is possible, but i wonder if it would work specifically with Marcus Thornton. The idea would be that MT would not sign the usual second rounder contract, but would rather sign a deal with the Red Claws (ideally, though I guess he could go overseas too). Give him a year playing in the NBADL, and then sign him up in 2016, where he would be treated as a rookie.

I have no sense as to whether this kid needs the extra seasoning, or if he is otherwise likely to stick on a NBA roster, but the draft and stash would give the Cs flexibility and allow time for DA to move Pressey as part of a larger deal, and create the roster space for MT as the third string pg....

Of course.

I say do it, just because of our current roster space.

I would assume that Danny asked Thornton if he would consider it, and that Thornton said yes, since he has next to no chance of making the roster and that's what we did with Colton Iverson
