2022-23 Player Preview: JT Thor

The Charlotte Hornets drafted three rookies in the 2021 NBA Draft. JT Thor was the last of those three rookies selected, but he and fellow James Bouknight cracked the rotation at about the same time as the team dealt with a covid outbreak. He played 18.6 minutes per game in a five game stretch in first legitimate NBA action, averaging 4.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

Thor has a pretty clearly defined NBA role. His best version is a 3 & D forward/big that can play anywhere from three through five. He moves his feet well and has tremendous length, meaning he can guard both on the perimeter and around the basket.
