After a very successful senior season which ended with a bid to the NCAA Tournament, Xavier Ford didn't want to end his basketball career. In late October it was announced that Ford signed a contract with the Grand Rapids Drive. Grand Rapids is the development team for the Detroit Pistons. This is a chance that many former UB players would jump at and Ford looks like he's playing his hardest to get better.
Ford is currently a role player for the Drive and mostly plays about eight minutes in the second quarter.
