After being expected to commit to Oklahoma State, JT Thor surprised people and picked Auburn. Now let’s take a look at what he brings to the table and how he can change this program. You’re locked into the Freshman Insider.
What he brings
Thor brings nice perimiter shooting and great rim protection. He reminds me a lot of former Auburn star Anfernee McLemore. McLemore played power forward like Thor, but was a great shooter. Thor is a knock down shooter for Auburn and he’ll play a big role in Bruce Pearl’s team. Another thing McLemore and Thor have in common is they’re both left handed. I really like the combo Thor brings to the table and I think he’ll get significant playing time.
Where he was ranked
Thor was a 4-star recruit and the #4 player in Georgia. He was ranked #51 in the country according to 247 Sports. Thor said he really liked how Bruce Pearl is a “players coach.”
Which NBA player does he compare to?
He really reminds me of Pascal Siakam who is a great shooting power forward.
Which jersey number will he wear?
In the picture at the top of the article, Thor is wearing #23. Because Isaac Okoro who’s likely leaving for NBA, wore that number, Thor will be able to wear it as long as Okoro doesn’t return.
