the 3-and-D-ish glue guard Nebraska trusted in 2020-21
In the 2020-21 season, Thorbjarnarson was a steady, experienced Nebraska guard who appeared in all 27 games and made 12 starts, giving the Huskers a 6-foot-6 perimeter piece with legit shooting pop and solid connective playmaking. His breakout came in 2019-20, when he jumped to 7.5 points per game overall and was among the Big Ten leaders in 3-point percentage, showing he could punish help defense when he’s confident. The appeal: a smart, versatile, low-drama wing-guard who can stretch the floor, move the ball, and fit a system that values toughness and spacing.
