Niang Signs Contract

[Ron Mexico]

Goes without saying there'll need to be injuries for him to get on the floor as the 15th man.

Oh, I guess I misinterpreted your post then. I thought you were implying you thought he would he would be in the second unit.

Niang looks unathletic as hell but he get's it done. The Stars were awful last year and then Niang, the guy that didn't play summer league came in and they were decent after that. Niang was first team GLeague.

 

[Getting Traded]

After what the Jazz coaching staff hid with last years 15th man Royce O’Neale. . .

I think it is reasonable to be excited about the development of a guy like Niang. That, plus, a lot of people were rooring for him and it’s nice to be right.

I kind of like him myself and will be rooting for him too.

Accounting for volume he was nearly the best 3 point shooter in the G league last year at 45.7%. (Andre Ingram was better)

 

[fishonjazz]

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

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

Ya that’s who I always think of when I think of niang

This is cool! I’m glad for Niang, 3 years 5M is awesome, but does that mean he’s making more than Royce? Royce needs a bump.

I did mod things to the two Niang contract threads.

 

[Shad]

Meh, welcome

 

[Jingled]

I haven't seen a lot of him, just a couple of summer league games. Is he better suited to play the 3 or 4?

Definitely the 4. He'd have to be a heck of a lot quicker on his feet to be able to chase around NBA 3s.

There will be no riots.

Guys it’s here.... finally... it’s Niang SZN! Let’s go!

I propose a celebration riot... who’s with me? Let’s break ****!

This is kind of saving deal, we've got three years for 1 year comparable to Jonas deal.
We lost Jarebko's experience
Gave GS our "know how"
but
We are better in financial, DL wants more in pocket in 2019.

I hope he will be better i 3threessss
for me he is not ready on the defensive end, but we'll see

 

[str8line]

Solid player. As long as he protects the ball he'll be worthy. He's quick with his reactions.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

you guys who watched G league this year: tell us about his D, please

He was better then I expected in the GLeague.

For me personally he does try hard (I guess you'd have to if you're playing for a contract), but he just isn't very athletic, or quick, or long, or anything. He tries to shuffle his feet to stay in front of the defender, but that's about all he does that I can see.

He's more or less an offensive player coming off the bench to give you a couple of 3's a game and space the floor, and make a couple of nice passes when needed, that's about you can expect IMO.

He’s more athletic then you realize. He’s not an above the rim freak or anything, but he’s quicker on his feet then he looks, and seems to have quick feet, shocking, but you don’t need to be a great athlete to be a good defender, look at Ingles, I think they call him slow mo joe. I rarely saw him get beat off the dribble and had no problem driving by his man, he just couldn’t get by the second man. I just hope he watches and studies Ingles game.

Ya that’s who I always think of when I think of niang

You think he’s an over the hill plodding overweight 4 who can’t shoot? That’s about as bad a comp I’ve ever heard. To me he’s a quicker Ingles.

I haven't seen a lot of him, just a couple of summer league games. Is he better suited to play the 3 or 4?

Both equally as well assuming the defense I saw at SL wasn’t because of lower Competition, we will see though.

The beginning of the Niang era may be the end of @Handlogten's Heros

I will say he’s robably more affective as a 4, as he probably a lot tougher to defend as a 4 spreading the court.

 

[RandyForRubio]

A quicker Ingles? Lol.

A quicker old Diaw for sure.
