NCAA Basketball: Pac-12 Conference Tournament-Arizona vs USC

Remember Derryck Thornton? The wispy point guard left Duke after his freshman year to go somewhere where he could find his destiny as more of a shooting point guard, with some angry comments from a relative/representative.

Well his USC career is over now and graduate Thornton finished his last season with 7.7 points and 4.3 assists. If you look at his career stats, moving to a weaker conference was probably a good idea but it didn’t help his stats much at all.

Maybe going down one more notch will let him find the role he wants.
