Most Underrated PF/C – Chimezie Metu, USC

You probably have’t heard of Chimezie Metu, but he could develop into a really good – and productive – big man in the NBA. Metu is entering the NBA draft after his junior season at USC, where he averaged 16 points, seven rebounds and nearly two blocks per game.

He’s is an athletic 6-foot-10 power forward that even began to extend his range during his final season at USC; he shot 52 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range. Metu is young and raw, especially on the defensive end where he, at times, chases blocks.
