JT Thor is headed to the Queen City. 

The Charlotte Hornets drafted the Auburn forward during Thursday’s NBA Draft. The Hornets took Thor with the No. 37 overall pick in the second round.

The 6-foot-10 forward was versatile during his time on The Plains as he averaged 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals on an average of 23.3 minutes per game. In his lone season at Auburn, Thor started in all 27 games for the Tigers.
