NBA: **Cyclones in the NBA and G-League, 2019-2020
- Thread starter I-stateTheTruth
- Start date
In Talen Horton-Tucker's first NBA start, he put up some decent numbers. I wish I could've watched it. The important thing is that J. Uthoff scored 8 for the Wizards today and we wanted to make sure to surpass the Hawkeyes' scoring totals between Talen and Georges
Talen's line: 34 MIN, 14 PTS, 6-15 FG, 2-5 3PT, 4 REB, 3 AST, 3 STL and 2 TO.
LeBron James did start the game and played the first half so it wasn't a summer league game. As the #1 seed, they won't know their opponent for 5+ days (something like that). I hope THT has done enough to get some minutes in the playoffs.
Good finish off the sweet assist:
THT's court vision:
Yes, they would've played the 8/9 to try to get to the Lakers. But they were eliminated before the Utah game began.
Georges is getting some buckets tonight. He might be done for the night though.
It looks like the Nuggets / Monte vs. Jazz / Georges playoff series has been scheduled. It starts on Monday (8/17) on ESPN. (NOTE: Times there are Eastern)

I'm working remote. No way can my boss know that's streaming in my home office on Monday afternoon
Georges Niang was TNT's post-game interview after the Spurs game.
I doubt that will be the case in the playoffs.

Georges' regular season ended with a decent performance (and a Jazz win over the Spurs). Most of the starters played about a quarter and Georges played well into the 3rd quarter before Utah's 3-stringers / G Leaguers finished out the game. In the 3rd quarter especially, it was fun to see Georges in without many rotation players because instead of just looking for 3-pointers, he actually did some playmaking (he hit a couple runners off drives, for example).
Niang's final regular season line: 22 MIN, 13 PTS, 5-10 FG, 3-8 3PT, 5 REB, 2 AST, 1 TO and +13.

I stole this from another thread. Nice piece about some of the guys getting together in the Orlando bubble:
Former Iowa State basketball stars reconnect in NBA's Orlando bubble
A program-record eight former Cyclones are currently playing in the NBA, and the group is reconnecting in the NBA's bubble tournament in Orlando.

He's not hurt that I have heard. He played their last game and he was in the box score when the game started. They might just want to get some minutes for other guys like Ferguson who missed some games.
