NBA Draft Combine 2017: Confirmed Milwaukee Bucks’ interviewees
By Adam McGee
Sindarius Thornwell
Arguably the star of the South Carolina Gamecocks’ underdog run to the Final Four this year, Sindarius Thornwell’s stock has taken a dramatic shift in the right direction in recent months.
Thornwell carved out a reputation for himself as a capable scorer and a game defender during a senior season that ended with up picking up the SEC Player of the Year award.
Although he may be lacking a little in height for an NBA two guard, Thornwell has a 6’11” wingspan and a tenacious energy that mean he can’t simply be dismissed as undersized.
South Carolina's Sindarius Thornwell also spoke with the Bucks today.

Having been arrested and suspended in December, the interview process likely carried a little more weight for teams assessing Thornwell than it did for some other prospects. As he was quoted by Dwayne McLemore of The State:
"“I don’t have anything to hide,” he said. “I’m a talkative guy. I like having conversations. … These interviews are easy. It’s just a conversation. It’s easy to talk and have a conversation. I enjoyed it.”"
