Analysis:

Thornton heads north to Boston after playing four years at William & Mary, where he averaged exactly 20 points, three assists and a trio of three-pointers per game last season. At 6-3, Thorton projects as a point guard whose lightning quickness and shooting prowess should help him adjust to the competition improvement that awaits in the NBA.
