No NBA team drafted a USC representative at any of the 60 draft slots. One Trojans star, however, made his way into the league at the conclusion of Thursday's second round event.

That same Trojans star fired off a stirring message once he learned his NBA fate.

Chibuzo Agbo is one of the newest league rep from the Land of Troy. The San Antonio Spurs picked him up and will give him an NBA Summer League opportunity.

Agbo quickly fired off a message via his Instagram stories. He not only screenshot a fan's encouragement, but Agbo posted these five words.

"Time to turn it up!!!!" the caption under the post read.

The USC X account sent its congrats to Agbo. Saying he's "taking it to the next level."

Agbo will take his perimeter shooting over to Las Vegas. He's best known for delivering back-to-back 20-point games in November. The San Diego native brings extensive experience to the floor.

He started his career with Texas Tech, where he played two seasons with the Red Raiders. Agbo saw action in 45 total games but no starts.

He transferred to Boise State for two more seasons starting in 2022-23. Agbo started in 33 games for both campaigns. He averaged 11.5 and 13.7 points per game in his two years with the Broncos.

Agbo eventually transferred to USC and suited up for Eric Musselman. He went to earn a season-best average of 32.2 minutes per game. Agbo scored 11.8 PPG in his lone campaign for USC. He also shot 39.6% from the field.

NBA Summer League games will be held July 10 to 20 inside the Thomas and Mack Center and Pavilion inside the UNLV campus.
