Some of the guys at higher elo have figured out the deal with Thresh in detail and determined in his present state, AD Carry is his only viable role.
Reasons:
1. His passive allows for his first attack after not attacking for a while to do considerable bonus damage, at least 100. Whether this was intended or not is unclear...
2. His Q hits for about 500 once geared. However, the tradeoff is Thresh won't be able to auto-attack for a few seconds when Qing.
3. His range - it's considerable.
4. The Box is a chaser move, not a battle opener. You have to force people to break The Box for it to be worth it.
5. Soul storage becomes considerable quickly via AD carry farm.
Voyboy and others investigating him and teaming/versing with Thresh players are fairly certain Riot didn't intend for Thresh to be an AD carry. Hard CC makes Thresh damn vulnerable - the offensive capability of Thresh is high but the disengage potential is very low. So even if Thresh is capable of crushing, he needs certain champs to roll with or he can become a liability. Blitzcrank is probably his best friend.

Just because his best role may be adc doesnt make him viable in this role imo. His range is abysmal for an adc, only a single spell (passive at that) scales with AD.
I just don't see him doing well, neither in early when long range poke (e.g. cait, ez, mf etc.) easily manhandles him nor in late game when he simply doesn't have the dps capabilities.
Rather than range adc bot I'd put him in toplane to build him into a tanky cc-"bruiser".
