The New Orleans Pelicans picked up third-year veteran Sindarius Thornwell on Monday in a substitute capacity to join the team in the Orlando ‘bubble.’
You may remember Thornwell as a former 48th overall pick who played in 137 games between 2017-19 as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Thornwell initially showed promise in his first season, serving most notably as a situational stopper on the defensive end while also hitting on 23 of 61 three-point attempts (37.7 percent). However, his offensive limitations bogged down his impact in 2018-19 as well as the offseason acquisitions of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson followed by the midseason deal that brought in Philadelphia 76ers’ guard Landry Shamet.
