Niang Signs Contract

Also laughing at dudes that say he won’t be a player cuz he isn’t athletic... if he was athletic and as skilled as he is he’d have been a lottery pick... give me the skilled hard worker over the super athletic guy who can’t shoot pass or dribble.

90% of us thought Ingles was too unathletic for the NBA. Players can make up for a lot with a deadly jump shot and just being overall high IQ.

I think the Jazz sees him as a future Diaw type player.

Un-athletic but elite passing 4 who can shoot the 3.

I highly doubt the front office is saying he the next Boris. They know every player is different. It's just the average fan who a!ways has to use comparisons. How about he remind's them of Niang? is it that hard?

Yup... Niang has also lost a lot of weight... he may be a better now than he did... still slow AF but I think he moves well enough.

If he plays tonight watch him on defense he makes so many good rotations. He will be fine.

Niang will 100% be the next Larry Bird. You heard it here first

Bird was a lot quicker both with his first step and reflexes. He had amazingly quick reflexes, just could not run very fast and not a leaper, but had a decent first step to get by defenders. However, being 6-9 and a quick jumper helped make up for his lack of speed and jumping ability.

you are going to see a lot of Exum/ Mitchell time together when Rubio is resting. Combo should work and Jazz need to see if this is their future.

I think Allen is going to get some minutes just because he moves the ball and is a decent defender. If he can be consistent with his shot he would be very nice next to Exum.

Heck the future might be Allen. Mitchell and Exum

Do 15th guys on rosters typically do useful things?

I think he’s the 14th man... Bradley being 15th...

I don’t expect huge things from Niang... like he probably won’t win finals mvp but his name will be up for consideration.
