The last time I spoke to Xavier Silas, the former CU Buff was coming off a semi-final finish at the 2015 “The Basketball Tournament,” with The City of Gods, a team coached by Joe Connelly, the brother of Denver Nuggets general manager Tim and eager for another shot at the NBA.
A year later, he’s still chasing that dream.
Silas was at the Las Vegas Summer League this July, where he played with a talented Minnesota Timberwolves squad coached by Ryan Saunders and under the influence of new head coach Tim Thibodeau, who Silas says is already making his imprint on the team.
