This series will look at each of the Spurs’ eleven under-30 players with an eye towards how they can improve in or expand their role on the team. Rather than focus on individual skills, for the most part, we’ll concentrate on what the team needs from each player on offense and defense to identify a key opportunity to have more impact.
For Chimezie Metu, the time is now. Thanks to the fallout from the Marcus Morris fiasco, he’ll have an opportunity this season to seize a role in the Spurs’ extended rotation.
