Congrats to Georges Niang!
The Iowa State legend has been fantastic in the NBA’s Summer League and was rewarded for it on Friday night via a 2-year contract from the Utah Jazz.
Niang spent the majority of last season in the G-League with Utah’s program. In that time, he averaged 19.7 points per game, shot 46 percent from 3-point range and was an all-star.
Niang has averaged 15 points and 6 rebounds per game during the NBA Summer League over the last few weeks.
Pictures are worth more than words! Congrats, @GeorgesNiang20.. that’s a bad man & it’s all earned, not given. #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/UOtSTvgf6n
