I think he fits in now better than back then, frankly. Seems to be what he says in the article as well.

I found these notes on the Cavs' training camp kind of interesting:
3. But let’s stick to the Cavs. They already had a good culture last season. They feel it will be even better this year with the likes of newcomers Max Strus, Georges Niang, Ty Jerome and Damian Jones. Oh yeah, and Tristan Thompson (more on him in a minute).
4. That’s especially the case with Niang, who manages to play with a real edge and yet generally keeps things light and fun. Niang has been reunited with Donovan Mitchell, as the two were also teammates in Utah. Mitchell made it pretty clear he’s glad they’re back together again.

The Pistons produced this half-hour on Monte's homecoming to Michigan. Some interesting footage of from ISU but also from his draft night party.

Matt and Nick Weiler-Babb on ESPN+ this afternoon. I believe. I discovered this on ESPN+ but I see that it says ESPN3 and I'm not even clear what that designation means anymore. But I think our guys will be on today in high-level competition at 1pm CT and 1:15 pm CT respectively.
2:43 of Naz highlights from his time in Milan last year. I pull for this guy.
They could use a few more sponsors' logos on their uniforms
I count only 12 pieces of flare. Naz needs to do more to express himself.
Stealing this from a new thread today, in case basketball historians ever comb through this amazing thread. Pretty good company Georges is keeping:

Any details on the deal? I haven't seen anything.
Would be pretty wild if he's able to stick on a roster for a while. Good on him.
In Portland's Tuesday night pre-season game vs. the New Zealand Breakers (who play in Australia's NBL if you're into overseas hoops references), George Conditt was a DNP. The Blazers played 15 guys so that's not a great sign for sticking on the roster. Hopefully, he ends up on their G League squad, at least.
Tyrese Haliburton has not appeared yet for the Pacers in pre-season games. My guess is that he's being rested after playing in the World Cup (I admit that's speculation).
I have been waiting to post on Marial Shayok, who looked very good this summer for South Sudan in the World Cup. He averaged 20 ppg last year for the Maine Celtics and his Wiki still has him as a player for Maine. G League rosters are not yet readily available. What is clear is that he's not on the Celtics training camp roster so I'm not 100% sure he'll be with Maine. But he's not currently playing overseas. Strange case, Marial. He seems like he could stick on a squad as a 3-and-D guy.

According to this article, it’s a non-guaranteed deal, but could be converted to a 2-way. He’s likely to end up with the G-league
Conditt appears likely to follow Smith’s trajectory and land with the Remix, but his non-guaranteed deal could also be converted into a two-way contract or a standard contract if he impresses during the preseason.
Wow - maybe George will make it after all - this SB Nation article says he has a good chance of sticking. I don't know who Portland has on 2-ways:

Blazers Sign Conditt, Waive 2 Others as Roster Dwindles
The Portland Trail Blazers are making some roster moves.

He showed flashes in the sweet 16 vs Miami. I still think he should have gotten more run in that game. But I can't say I saw him developing into a fringe NBA guy post-ISU.
No idea on the details.
