As the clear top option offensively this season for the USC Men’s Basketball team, Chimezie Metu was up to the task.
He led the Trojans in scoring with nearly 16 points per game, rebounding with 7.4 and blocks at 1.7 per contest.
He also shot 52 percent from the field and 73 percent from the free-throw line. His three-point shot is a work in progress, but there are several reasons for optimism there.
In 2016-2017, he took just two triples the entire year. Clearly, it was a point of emphasis for him the following offseason, and while he only shot 30 percent from downtown this past campaign, he showed newfound confidence and determination.
