Checking in on the Thornton Stats after his recent shooting slump:
9.1% usage
138 offensive rating (#3 nationally, #1 ACC)
45/47/83 FG/3PT/FT
28% FT rate (this seems much better than the eye test tells us)
4.1 assist/turnover (#5 nationally, #1 ACC)
4.0% steal (#40 nationally, #2 ACC)
5.5 fouls per 40 minutes
This 3-star recruit, largely unwanted by his own team's fans, has recognized from day one what his role would be and worked to fulfill his role better than anyone in college basketball. He does foul too much.
