Nearly two weeks ago, Andy Katz of NCAA.com stated that Michigan State junior Xavier Tillman was “on the fence” to either go to the NBA or return to MSU. Well, Tillman recently spoke to Jack Doles of WoodTV.com in Grand Rapids about his draft situation, confirming Katz’s opinion. Tillman told Doles he is currently at the “50/50” mark between going to the NBA or returning to MSU for a senior year.
Here is a full quote from Tillman, per the WoodTV.com interview:
“I’m still at that 50/50 mark, same as I was when I put my name in. If you look at mock drafts, you would think I was for sure. But it’s all about what I hear from NBA teams and what they like about my game, what they don’t like. Whether they see me getting drafted by them or not. That’s what I’m looking for, some guarantees so that I’m more confident in teams.”

The NCAA and NCA recently decided to indefinitely postpone the NBA Draft’s June 3 early entry withdrawal deadline for draft prospects. This decision provides potential NBA draft picks, like Xavier Tillman and Aaron Henry, more time to decide on going to the NBA or returning to college.
We will provide you with more information on both players’ NBA draft decision as it is made available.
