48. Sindarius Thornwell – SG – South Carolina. 6’5″, 211 lbs. (21.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 2.1 spg, .392 3pt).
The Clippers obtained an absolute steal late in the draft with Thornwell, whose leadership helped to guide South Carolina to the Final Four last season. His calling card is at defense, but he has the capability as a scorer to put points on the board. He dropped in the draft solely because of weight and character issues, but the Cinderella run should have put those doubts to rest.
Grade: B+.
