‘I want to be here.’ NBA decision behind him, Chris Silva eyes final season at USC

Chris Silva on Sunday wore a shirt with “GAMECOCK BASKETBALL” printed loudly across his chest. Consider it an updated version of the Under Armour attire he’s fashioned these past four years.

But it wasn’t long ago when Silva was deciding whether to expand his wardrobe to look more like Sindarius Thornwell and P.J. Dozier. That pair of former USC greats walked into Heathwood Hall rocking the gear of their current employers -- Thornwell in Los Angeles Clippers blue and red; Dozier in faded Oklahoma City Thunder navy.
