Kinley Thorton Kinley Thorton 5'11" | SG Bismarck Century | 2029 State ND is another Patriot with offers from NDSU and USD. She received these offers before playing one minute of varsity basketball. She is a long 5’11 guard and extremely athletic. She moves well and is clearly a notch above others athletically. She is great at attacking the basket but can also space the floor with her outside shooting. Her length and lateral movement allow her to be a great defender at a young age. She is going to get noticed more this summer and I anticipate more offers coming her way. She finished this season as an All-WDA selection averaging 10.3 points, and 3.9 rebounds per game. She also shot 35% from three and 80% from the free-throw line.

Thorton is one of the more impressive athletes in the 2029 class. You can tell the second she starts playing why she has received two Division 1 offers already. She is going to have many more in the next two years. She has a very smooth shot and quick release. She is deadly from behind the arc, currently shooting 39% from three. Her ability to play inside and out and her length as a guard have her as one of the top prospects in the state.

Kinley is super athletic and long.  She is really good at getting downhill and attacking the basket.  Her aggressiveness is really impressive for someone so young.  She has a sweet looking shot and isn’t afraid to shoot it from deep.  Kenley has received two Division 1 offers before even playing a second of varsity basketball. Her two offers are from University of South Dakota and North Dakota State University. Kinley is going to be a superstar.
