Memphis Grizzlies: 5 Under The Radar NBA Draft Prospects
By Chris Kern
Xavier Sneed
Xavier Sneed was one of the biggest breakout stars in last years NCAA tournament. He helped Kansas State get to the Elite 8 without their star big man, Dean Wade.
Sneed led the way in an upset win over Kentucky in the Sweet 16 which was one of the biggest upsets of the NCAA tournament.
He had 22 points and 9 rebounds in that game while hitting five three-pointers as well. He was clutch and showed off his NBA potential.
Many didn’t consider him a legit NBA Draft prospect before last March but now he continues to rise up draft boards. NBADraft.net has him projected to go 38th overall.
Through the Wildcats first four games he has averaged 13 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
His offensive game continues to improve which will be key to see him being selected in next years NBA Draft.
His versatility will be enough to get him drafted but if he can continue to score the ball, he will have a long career maybe even as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies.
