2018 NBA Draft Big Board: Mid-November
By Max Holm
25. Chimezie Metu – USC
Chimezie Metu was the Pac-12’s most improved player last season and through one game, he already looks better. Metu buried two 3s in USC’s season opener and looks to have added some significant muscle. He’s already got excellent feet to defend on the perimeter and make moves in the post.
With improved range, he’s got some consistency on defense away from looking like a top-20 pick. It should be a big year for both he and the Trojans. If Metu can better control the glass and protect the rim, look out.
