An All-Region selection after averaging over 15 points per game for Woodland (Stockbridge) last season, Thorton is an athletic wing with good positional size and versatility. He is at his best attacking the basket, using his quickness and athleticism to get downhill and finish in the paint. Thorton is also a capable and improving perimeter shot maker who can knock down open looks from beyond the arc. Defensively, his combination of size, mobility and athleticism allows him to match up with multiple positions. Already drawing interest from college programs, Thorton should see his recruitment continue to gain momentum with another productive season.

The hard-playing highlight maker is the tone setter for the 5-0 Woodland Wolfpack. Thornton has done it all, averaging 21.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 3.3 steals. The swingman is a terrific athlete with a great nose for the ball. He does an exceptional job hunting rebounds and is a dunk waiting to happen in transition. Most impressive thus far has been his consistency from beyond the arc, a small sample size but 4-7 from distance. Thornton’s motor and growing offensive game will start to draw college attention. The junior is having a breakout season.

Explosive high-flyer had monster dunks. Plays with max effort and energy. Nose for the ball results in gaggles of rebounds. Double-double threat from his swingman position. Effective slasher. Adding consistent jump shooting range could balloon his stock.
