Sindarius Thornwell has emerged onto the draft radar due to his big numbers and how well South Carolina has played this season. He is a good all around player who plays tough on defense and is a smart player on offense. He shoots the 3 at a high rate, but also has the ability to take smaller guys in the post or hit the mid-range jumper. His feel for the game is high and he will take smart shots (for the most part). He is a good rebounder for his size (7.2 reb/game) due to his strength and high motor. He has also gained some good experience during his time at South Carolina. Thornwell, however, lacks some quickness and explosiveness, which may hurt his ability to get open looks in the NBA. He is an ok creator/playmaker, but his moves mainly consist of backing down players or straight line drives when he does put the ball on the floor. In order to really thrive in the NBA he'll need to use his craftiness to create space. Overall Thornwell has high role player potential and has all the tools to be in the NBA for many years.
