The San Antonio Spurs drafted Chimezie Metu with the 49th overall pick in the second round of this year’s draft.
Metu is incredibly athletic and talented at 6-foot 11-inches, but his skillset is still pretty raw which was why he was available in the second round.
Metu was able to make the Spurs’ NBA roster because of a rash of injuries to players that were expected to be in the rotation during the preseason.
He has played in five games with the big league squad, but all of Metu’s minutes this season have come in garbage time.
