Umana Reyer Venice has acquired one of the most consistent scorers in the BKT EuroCup with the signing of Xavier Munford to a muti-year deal. Over the last two seasons, Munford (1.93 meters, 32 years old) leads all players in the EuroCup with 580 points. He averaged 15.4 points on 43.5% three-point shooting, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 19 EuroCup games last season for Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv. It was Munford’s third EuroCup campaign after debuting with Frutti Extra Bursaspor in 2020-21 and spending the last two with Hapoel.
Munford began his professional career in his native United States in the G-League with the Bakersfield Jam and Greensboro Swarm as well as a spell in the NBA with the Memphic Grizzlies. His only other European experience came with FC Barcelona late in the 2016-17 season, when he played five games' worth of limited action in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and six in the Spanish League.
He later suited up for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA; Wisconsin Herd and Delaware Blue Coats in the G-League, Fujian in China and South East Melbourne in Australia. Munford also played for Team USA at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup.
In Venice, Munford will reunite with playmaker Tyler Ennis, who was his backcourt mate at the end of last season with Hapoel.
