JT Thor is going to feast in a help side rim protection. Having guys like Akingbola and Cardwell to anchor a defense allowing Thor to roam a little more should only make him more effective in that role
Thor just makes it look easy helping off his man for some easy blocks and a lot of deterred/altered shots
He’s versatile enough to guard multiple positions and step out to the perimeter pretty naturally too though. Defending 3 star Jalen Deloach here and for the majority of this matchup vs Berkmar
Thor shows great instincts here, fighting around a blind side screen and making an impressive play on the ball. He’s underrated on the defensive end overall, partially due to suspected weakness in his wiry frame IMO. He’s a lot stronger than he looks though yet still super agile
I think JT Thor was pretty undervalued in his reclassified rankings. I know, I’ve said that about almost everyone in our 2020 class, but I truly believe he should have been 20+ spots higher
In saying that, how much better would the general consensus about this upcoming team be if we had a top 3-5 class vs 6-10? That number alone would ease a lot of people’s worries. It’s the main reason I speak on what I think are improper rankings really
