[edit] College
Al Thornton's outstanding four year career at Florida State University was capped off by a stellar individual senior year that saw him make the AP All-American 3rd team, a unanimous selection to the All-ACC 1st team and was runner up to Boston College's Jared Dudley for the ACC player of the year. He led the ACC in scoring and averaged over 7 rebounds a contest as well. His season came to a disappointing end as the Seminoles were snubbed from the NCAA tournament for the second straight season, and forced to play in the NIT. Thornton's team did not make the tournament in his 4 years there despite his stellar individual play.[1]
