2023 Fantasy Outlook
Thor took some steps forward during the 2022-23 season, albeit small ones. He played in 69 games for the Hornets but logged just 14.0 minutes per night, averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds. Although he has the size and athleticism to make people sit up and take notice, he has yet to figure things out at the NBA level. Given what we have seen from him thus far, there is some doubt whether he ever becomes a key rotational piece. Playing behind Miles Bridges, Brandon Miller and Gordon Hayward, Thor is unlikely to be a factor in fantasy leagues this season. Read Past Outlooks

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Thor was selected by the Hornets with the 37th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. As a freshman at Auburn, Thor averaged 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 23.1 minutes per game. He has great size and length, which, combined with his defensive instincts, gives him some intriguing potential in the NBA. The swing piece for his development will be how well his shooting comes along. He took 2.7 threes per game in college but made just 29.7 percent of them.
