Bang Bang Georges Niang

[Comeback kid]

I think Niang’s saving grace is he at least tries and is aware on defense..

His defensive issues are purely physical (short, slow, not athletic) but he does hustle, is active and has some grit&grind..

JBB seems to take issue with guys who aren’t active or can’t process — neither of which seem to be an issue with Niang..

JBB doesn’t bench guys who are bad on defense; he benches guys who don’t try and make consistent mistakes on defense..

Lol

Over 40% on 3s in his in EACH of his last 5 seasons. Yeah, that'll help.

The Cavs got a backup big who isn’t afraid to shoot. The money is a lot, but let’s hope he can’t help space the lane.

What level of Hombre is this dude ?

 

[J_J]

14 games last season he at least made 4 3s and above 50%

That’s pretty good for a bench role player to help spacing and shooting.

Played with Mitchell in Utah.

Looking at the sixers subreddit

He can stick with people defensively as long as they're not super athletic.

Many loved him.

Some remarks about his consistency but they don't look smart.

He doesn't do anything if he's not hitting his shots.

Ingles to Magic for 2 years, $22 million.

Raise your hand if you would’ve taken him over Niang.

I listen to a lot of 76ers talk because I'm an Eagles fan and here is what i gather on Niang
- fan favourite
- total liability on defense, like absolutely the worst, borderline unplayable in the playoffs
- streakier the past year or so then he used to be

Lol

Wade was afraid to do the very thing he was out there for: shoot

Defense wasn't the issue with him..

 

[Jscc]

He doesn't do anything if he's not hitting his shots.

As long as he does nothing while standing a foot behind the three point line, his mission is accomplished.

That dude is gonna turn this into a Wade thread...

So...

His offense is his defense?

 

[JMoneyYourHoney]

Played with Mitchell in Utah.

Worked out so well for them!

Well he is probably gonna get Wade traded now
