Many Michigan State basketball fans were annoyed and confused when Xavier Tillman was seemingly snubbed in the NBA draft, slipping to the second round. Last night, in a must-win game for the Memphis Grizzlies, Tillman showed everyone why he was probably slept on in the draft process.
From diving to loose balls, to hitting dagger threes to close out the game, to even tag-teaming with Jaren Jackson Jr. to slow down
