Over the previous two seasons, Michigan State forward Xavier Tillman did so many amazing things, it’s hard to think much about the little things he did for the team. Now that Tillman plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, those little things look a lot bigger.
Tillman could have been a senior on this year’s MSU team, something that may well have had the team sitting comfortably inside the top five in the country. To be clear, though, that’s not to say he made the wrong decision. As is evident by his debut performance Sunday night, scoring six points in 17 minutes coming off the bench.
