D.J. Thorpe is entering his senior year at Lake Travis High (home of the Cavaliers) in Austin, Texas. He has committed to the California Golden Bears men’s basketball program for the 2019-20 season. The 6’8” power forward has shown that he can score at will inside at the high school level. Aside from playing for Lake Travis, Thorpe has also been a standout for T.J. Ford Basketball. Ford was an outstanding point guard for the University of Texas prior to playing for four NBA teams.
Sometimes Thorpe catches and shoots near the basket in one motion to discourage the defense.
