Clippers' Thornton grades himself a 'C'

"I'd have to say a C," he said. "It's pretty low. I can't grade myself any higher. Consistency is the main thing for me. I've been up and down."
He may be his own harshest critic in grading his rookie year. But although he is one of the Clippers' few positives this season, his performance has been marked by flashes of explosiveness flanked by bouts of ineffectiveness.

Thornton acknowledges that earlier in the season, he tried to prove himself too fast.
"I think being overexcited and getting out there and trying to prove too much was it," he said. "Sometimes, I still get that way, but for the most part, I'm calm and laid-back and playing with more confidence."
