Despite the outcome of the Sacramento Kings’ matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, Chimezie Metu continued his recent run of impressive outings.
Before the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had high praise for the third-year man, saying that his scouting report was filled with more of Metu than it had been before.
“[Kuminga’s] got to be great defensively, he’ll guard Harrison Barnes at times, he’ll guard Metu who’s been playing well. We need [Kuminga] to lock [Metu] defensively.”
Jonathan Kuminga was Metu’s defensive assignment in the first quarter, and Kerr emphasized he would have his hands full staying in front of the Kings’ surging young forward.
