Determining Michael Nzei’s role for Seton Hall

If you’re not familiar with Seton Hall’s Michael Nzei, chances are you will be. The 6’8 forward is in the process of developing into an impactful player in the paint for the Pirates.

Redshirting the 2014-15 season, Nzei officially launched his Seton Hall career in 2015-16. While only starting in 3 games, Nzei nabbed court time in 34 games for the Pirates. Most notably, he solidified his career high against Rutgers, putting up a solid double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. Nzei seems to have a penchant for keeping his stats close numerically. Nzei offered 4 points and 5 rebounds during the Big East tournament semifinal against Xavier, and racked up 5 points and 5 rebounds in the first round of March Madness against Gonzaga.
