Thor was used sporadically last season due to injuries to Gordon Hayward and Cody Martin. He showed flashes of defensive upside with his elite physical tools.
During the Summer League, Thor figures to carry some offensive responsibility. Areas of emphasis for him will be improving his ball skills, shooting, and feel for the game. Playing time is crucial to his development and Summer League is the perfect opportunity to fine-tune his skillset before the season begins. If Thor wants to be a staple in the Hornets rotation, he must improve his perimeter shooting, as he will be playing off the ball and will not be a primary creator. Thor could see minutes under Clifford early on due to his defensive versatility.
