I believe in another thread Georges mom said they know this "wu" fella personally and like him. I honestly didn't think it was horrible interview. But what do I know, I'm the one that thinks Georges is an elite ball player while Aaron white is not. Apparently to some people that's complete stupidity.
LOL!! You honestly think that Durant and LeBron choose the players for their camps?
I didn't think it was a bad interview at all. Even the Nerlins Noel question. You've got to remember that Niang and Noel are friends and probably still keep in touch. Not sure what others are seeing that makes them think it was a butchered interview. Probably better than the majority of interviews Georges does.
Were you drunk when you watched the interview? Niang did fine, the interviewer was the problem... he probably said "Um" about 100 times, which is the 1st rule of not to do's when giving a speech, much less an interview. It literally looked like the guy holding the interview had the skills of an 8th grader in terms of interview.
nah it was a pretty informal ordeal. Nothing wrong with it at all, he actually asked some interesting questions.

That's a ridiculous statement. What in the world does White's presence have to do with what Georges gets out of the experience? In addition to improving his skills, as well as confidence, going to his second such event only increases his visibility nationally which will only help his chances of reaching All-American status.
I get the desire to bag on Iowa but this only makes you look bad. I hope you don't seriously believe this.
Looks like Niang measured in at 6-8, 235 lbs. That's a good weight for him, hope he can stay that lean.
If this event is July 9-12, then Georges will miss the opening games of the CCL playoff. The question... is Georges' team one of the top 2 teams to get a bye. Even then, the semi-finals and championship is on the 13th, would he be back to play?
I've always thought Niang was quite noticeably taller than Ejim.

I wouldn't be surprised by 6'8".
This is from last year.

I realized Booker is farther away, but Niang looks closer to Booker's 6'9" then Ejim's 6'6".
I'm just basing it off that he's been listed at 6-7 forever. Let's not get the height comparisons going. Someone will pop into this thread shortly that's for sure 6-4 and they stood next to Niang at the bus stop and Georges couldn't have been more than 2" taller than them.
I'm going to venture a guess that he's not all too concerned about the CCL playoffs.
While any positive pub he can get is great, I question the value of these things other than just sharpening the knife against better and better opponents. Isn't it obvious that Georges skills are ridiculously better than most. I mean they can't teach him to be 6' 10" or have a 42" vertical. He can certainly teach some of them some post moves including I dare say some of the pros.
If he isn't concerned about the CCL playoffs then I'm concerned where his heart is really at.
