Ohio State’s steady engine with star-level production
Bruce Thornton is the kind of lead guard coaches love: in the 2025-26 season, he played and started all 34 games, averaged 19.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, and shot a career-best 55.4% from the field while earning Second-Team All-Big Ten honors. He’s a polished, efficient scorer who can create offense without wasting possessions, and his toughness shows up in his consistency, not just his box score. If you want a poised floor general who can carry an offense and still play unselfishly, Thornton checks a lot of boxes.
