Needless to say this is a huge get for Duke, who after losing Tyus Jones, were left without a natural point guard on the roster. Thornton gives Duke a quick playmaker to go along side Grayson Allen, Matt Jones, and Luke Kennard.
Duke may not be done yet though, as Brandon Ingram is set to announce on Monday. The Blue Devils are believed to be the favorite.
