If the players drafted in the second round are not certain of having a real contract in their team for next season, Xavier Tillman will be well in the workforce of the Grizzlies, who are counting on him.
ESPN explains that Memphis has just offered a four-year contract to the former Michigan State player.
It must be said that the franchise of Tennessee had Spartan in the sights, since it had gone up to the Draft to recover it, offering its 40th choice plus a second round of Draft in 2022 in Sacramento for the 35th choice.
Best defenseman in the Big Ten conference, Xavier Tillman had 13.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks on average last season in the NCAA. It fits perfectly with the mentality of the Grizzlies, but the club now has 17 players under contract and will have to make choices in the coming weeks …
