Kerem Kanter will transfer to Xavier if not drafted
Former Green Bay Phoenix junior forward Kerem Kanter will transfer to the Xavier Musketeers in the fall if he does not decide to stay in the 2017 NBA Draft, per Jeff Goodman of ESPN.
What It Means:
Kanter -- the younger brother of the Oklahoma City Thunder's Enes -- submitted his name for the NBA draft but has until May 24 to withdraw his name. If he does so, he will be eligible to immediately play at Xavier as he is graduating this spring and will be a graduate student in the fall.
Kanter averaged 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in only 19.1 minutes per game last season.
