Detroit Pistons sign Chimezie Metu to 10-day contract
According to the Detroit Pistons, they have signed F/C Chimezie Metu to a 10-day contract. Metu, who is 6-9, 225, has played in 226 NBA games over five seasons. During that time, he has averaged 5.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 0.4 blocks in 12.8 minutes per game.
Why it Matters
Let’s be clear, Metu is not going to come in and change much for a Pistons team that is one of the worst in the NBA so far this season. In fact, there is a chance that he does not see much action at all. That said, adding a veteran like Metu does add some depth for the Pistons, especially when it comes to the center and forward positions.
