Niang article

[Mr Janny]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, but some good publicity for Georges

Sixers’ Georges Niang might be NBA’s most self-deprecating player

Though Georges Niang has been valuable for the Sixers early in his first year with the team, he thinks his "best ability" is self-awareness. By Noah Levick

Nerlens Noel mention lol

They were almost comically fast with the Nerlens Noel info.

“My deceptively slow speed”

"Army Swiss Knife?"

Like, a cheese knife for the army?

Georges deserves a place on the Cyclone Mt Rushmore. Come at me.

To be fair, maybe that is a better description of Georges than Swiss Army knife lol. Unintentionally hilarious

"Best thing that ever happened to me.".

And Cyclone fans feel the same about Georges coming to Ames.

Georges is not the most talented player that has ever come through here, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find one that loves ISU more...and is more beloved by CyclONEnation.

Pretty crazy that the Jazz have a video tribute for him and Sixers fans already love him. We know how much ISU fans love him. He's obviously an extremely well liked person. I could see him being a coach someday. Would love for him to start out as an assistant in ten years under TJ once he retires.

I really enjoyed a couple weeks ago when Joel Embid said something to the effect of "Before he got here, I thought he sucked, but now that I've played with him, he's actually pretty good"

I cannot find a Niang Sixers T-Shirt anywhere.

I wondered this as well. I can't imagine the 2nd or 3rd guy off the bench who was only on the team for a few years gets too many video tributes. It's a testament to how likeable he is.

Has a really good article about him in the Athletic too: https://theathletic.com/2955784/202...o-utah-the-place-that-gave-him-his-nba-start/

I love the guy! Watched him play twice last week on TV. He definitely has to be a high effort guy and play smart basketball in that league! He doesn't have the elite talent compared to many of his peers but that is what makes him so easy to like and cheer for! He busts it when he is out on the court!

Thats funny. If I remember right Embiid was one of the few players that pretty much owned Georges on defense in college. Of course that's the case with most players. The guy is a freak.
