In the second half of the 2021-22 season, Chimezie Metu finally got some extended playing time in the NBA, appearing in 36 games and putting up 6.3 points and 3.1 assists per game and generally looking solid in his minutes with the Kings.
Metu’s best plays and moments on the court were pretty tantalizing. At 6 foot 9, Metu has a nice combination of touch around the rim, ability to stretch the floor and athleticism, all of which he flashed in his first season in Sacramento.
Metu entered the 2020-21 season on a two-way contract with the Kings after spending the first two seasons of his career with the San Antonio Spurs.
