After being selected with the 49th pick in 2018, Chimezie Metu has spent his first two seasons bouncing between the San Antonio Spurs and their G-League affiliate in Austin. We haven’t been able to see much of him in the NBA but his performance in the G-League has been enough to excite Spurs fans.
In the aftermath of Marcus Morris changing his mind about his future, it looked like Metu was in line for increased minutes this season. But the success that Trey Lyles found in his first year with the Spurs is going to make it even harder for Metu to get solid NBA playing time.
