USC basketball report - Evan Mobley looks like a star once again
USC Trojan alumni had a great week of basketball before the NBA regular season ended. Can they carry this form into the playoffs?
In the final week of the NBA regular season, a few former USC Trojans thrived. Evan Mobley closed the season with a high-scoring week, Nikola Vučević is gearing up for the biggest playoff run of his career, and Bronny James is preparing to be an impactful player for the Lakers. Here are my top performers this past week for USC hoopers in the NBA: Onyeka Okongwu Last Wednesday Oneyka had a domiant showing.
Vs the Cavasiliers, Okongwu had 18 points, shot 7-10, and had 5 boards. The rebounding production does need to come up in the playoffs, but his ability to score against a really good defensive front court is going to be huge for Atlanta. Nikola Vučević Nikola Vučević missed most of March due to injury, but he has played the last stretch of games.
This past week, he was ramping up, and he gave his team great confidence with his progress. On Thursday, Nikola dropped 10 points and was 2-4 from 3, and grabbed 5 rebounds off the bench. He played the following great the next day, last Friday, where he had 14 points, shot 3-5 from 3, had 4 rebounds, and 5 assists.
He is really honing in on his role, and he is back to being a productive player. He will be a huge asset for the Boston Celtics this playoff run. De'Anthony Melton Last week, Melton had two great outings, and he shone in his role.
