Uh oh - the 76ers social media team is jumping on the Minivan schtick (but that's a car icon, people):


Not just a spot-up shooter:

The 76ers' leading scorer at the half against Chicago with 12 points is non-starter Georges Niang. He scored in multiple ways, driving, 2/3 from 3, hit a mid-range pull-up. It's beautiful to see all those phases of his game again.

Moving without the ball, driving and finishing on D. Derozan:

Georges cooled off in the 4th quarter but he played the entire period and ended up with 18 in 32 minutes. He missed a wide open 3 with about 3 minutes left that would've given him back-to-back games with 20+.

4 steals, 2 blocks and 0 TO is filthy point guard play regardless of the rest of the line.
So true. I was thinking about him watching Matisse Thybulle, defensive savant for the 76ers,last night. They have similar builds and use their long arms so well to get steals and blocks. But Haliburton is a better offensive player than Thybulle and usually plays the point.

It was an absolute blast watching Niang close out a game last night. It had to be a huge moment for him to be able to be in there when it mattered most.

Yeah, I think he was the only player who played all of the last 18 minutes of the game. He looked a little tired at the end.

In CBS Sports' NBA power rankings, the 76ers jumped a mere 15 places this week, to #2 and they cite Georges as one of the reasons:

Swap out Ben Simmons for Georges Niang and you've got one of the best teams in the league :cool:
