After admitting that he hit a freshman wall on Jan. 31, Bruce Thornton played his best basketball of the season in February, proving to be a 'foundational piece' for Ohio State.
Thornton has always been able to lean on his defense even if he struggles to find his shot at times. That's what makes him a special player already. The freshman can be counted on to go against the opposing team's best guard throughout much of the game while averaging 29.7 minutes per game this season. He has played 34-plus minutes a game in five of Ohio State's last seven games.
Thornton's strong play on the court paired with his leadership has led to plenty of praise from both his coaches and opposing coaches as well. It's almost as though Thornton is a veteran with plenty of experience, yet he's only in his first collegiate season. Illinois coach Brad Underwood had plenty of positive things to say about Ohio State's 6-foot-2, 215-pound point guard, both presently and in the future. The Illini's coaching staff had watched Thornton's development even before this season as it kept track of Thornton on the recruiting trail as well.
