Barton and he were both 2nd-round picks and they seem to be the future of the Nuggets.
Naz with good line in NBA summer league game
- Thread starter CyberJJJ
- Start date
Naz finished with 9 points in today's game in the SL vs. MIami. Niang had 12 (and 5 assists); they played him fewer minutes today. Here's a SWEET assist by Naz on the break (Monte had the ball in his hands so much at ISU that we didn't see much of this):
Niang looked tired but passed well and just had a few shots just rim out. Overall he looked effective. Naz minutes were limited with Grayson Allen available to play and getting the starter. The second unit looked much better with him in the game, though Allen played pretty well too.
I think Niang has made a good case to make the roster though training camp will decide that. Naz has earned the camp invite but due to the guard numbers on the Jazz (Rubio, Mitchell, Exum, Neto, 1st rd Allen) I doubt he'll have an opportunity to make the roster.

If you click on the article and play the clip of the lead pass and dunk you can here a very angry sounding man talking trash about somebody’s sister. Vegas.
Great news on Naz getting his two-way contract. He definetly earned it in vegas but I was worried the Jazz guard depth could have seen them going for a different position.
