Thornwell among 17 current, former Gamecocks on SC Pro-Am rosters
Former South Carolina great and current Los Angeles Clippers player Sindarius Thornwell will be part of the seventh annual South Carolina Pro-Am.
The Pro-Am runs July 22-29 at Heathwood Hall High School.
Thornwell just wrapped up play in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas for the Clippers. He was second on the team in scoring at 14.4 points a game and also had five rebounds and three assists.
As a rookie for the Clippers, Thornwell averaged 3.9 points a game in 73 games.
Thornwell will be one of three current NBA players in this year’s Pro-Am. Jawun Evans, a South Carolina native and Thornwell’s teammate with the Clippers and the Denver Nuggets’ Torrey Craig also will play. Craig recently signed a two-year deal with Denver.
Other current or former Gamecocks on the roster are Carlos Powell, Jair Bolden, AJ Lawson, Wes Myers, Chris Silva, Frank Booker, Maik Kotsar, Tre Campbell, TJ Moss, Dominique Archie, Alanzo Frink, Hassani Gravett, Keyshawn Bryant, Jaylen Shaw (later transferred), Jason Cudd and Nathan Nelson (walk-on).
The Pro-Am’s Twitter page also said former Gamecocks Devan Downey and P.J. Dozier also are likely to play. Downey, a USC Hall of Famer, is playing overseas while Dozier just wrapped play for Oklahoma City Thunder’s summer league team. Dozier averaged 11 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists for OKC in the Las Vegas Summer League.
