Despite having made some impressive roster moves over the course of the past week, the Greensboro Swarm said goodbye to perhaps their best and most consistent player. On February 3, the team parted ways with Xavier Munford. He was arguably the Charlotte Hornets‘ top prospect in their D-League system.
The 6-foot-3 guard from the University of Rhode Island was having a terrific year with Greensboro, averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game while shooting 42 percent from the floor. He also recorded a triple-double (the first ever in Swarm history) during the D-League Showcase weekend, putting up 20 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds in 42 minutes versus the Erie Bayhawks.
