Bruce Thornton<\/span><\/span> Ohio State<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

Undersized but has potential as a backup guard with his strength and scoring chops.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m probably going to be higher on Thornton than the consensus. He\u2019s so polished as a scorer and has such a well-rounded set of on- and off-ball skills that could translate. He takes the advantages that are given to him and maintains them in ball screens. He can score in the midrange at an exceptionally efficient level and takes advantage of his shots at the rim. His 3-point volume could take a leap, too. He wins the possession game by never turning the ball over.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m certainly worried about him getting taken advantage of on defense. But I also think he has more pathways toward being OK on that end than most 6-foot guards because of his power. Thornton needs to improve his passing vision and needs to maximize himself on defense. The margin for error for guards this size is essentially non-existent in the NBA, and I think there\u2019s a chance we look back at this class and Thornton ends up as one of the best players outside the NBA. But he\u2019s one of my top two-way grades in the class.<\/p>\n

Hollinger\u2019s analysis: <\/strong>This feels slightly high for Thornton, a hugely productive college player but one who is quite undersized to play off the ball and not really a natural point guard. Houston gave up draft capital to move up eight spots and grab him, when he might have been there at No. 39. One positive: He has the same fire-hydrant body type as Fred VanVleet, and maybe can learn from him. The other positive: Thornton is from my current hometown of Alpharetta, Ga. Grade: B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there a loser? I don’t love the way. Andrew Schleck reacted to a lot of this Thunder stuff, so I, I, I don’t know that the Thunder lost, but I feel like his spirit lost a little. Andrew Schleck is one of the losers of this, yeah, just his spirit, just his spirit, yeah, the Grizzlies getting both, uh, getting Camboozer to fall to them, which is probably a dream scenario for them. And then picking up Bennett Sturtz. I like that for them. Um, I could see them being a, a winner. Thunder, Thunder got Bennett. Oh, the Thunder, they got, they got Kareem. Lopez, that’s right. OK, no, they’re no longer, uh, they’re no longer the winners. They’re back to losers. Golly, all these trades. Hornet, Hornets had a great, great draft too. Yeah, I didn’t like what the, what the Hornets did. Uh, I like the, the 76ers being able to get Pylon at 22. I’m gonna go ahead and say the Washington Wizards are NBA draft because they got the #1 pick, uh, and they now have someone to build around. Honestly, any of the top 4 teams are winners of this draft.”,”ineligibleRegion”:[“BI”,”BY”,”CD”,”CF”,”CU”,”IQ”,”IR”,”KP”,”LB”,”LY”,”ML”,”NI”,”RU”,”SD”,”SO”,”SS”,”SY”,”UA”,”VE”,”YE”,”ZW”],”publisher”:{“@type”:”NewsMediaOrganization”,”@id”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/#publisher”,”name”:”The Athletic”,”url”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/”,”foundingDate”:”2016-01-25″,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”@id”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”url”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”contentUrl”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”creditText”:”The Athletic”,”height”:”60″,”width”:”435″},”publishingPrinciples”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/edit-guidelines\/”,”sameAs”:”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Athletic”},”author”:[{“@type”:”Person”,”name”:”Zach Harper and CJ Moore”}]}<\/p>\n
