Niang NBA chances

[ISU42]

Been a doubter of his NBA abilities, but I hope he can find his niche somewhere.

Checks all cash the same right? Then on to the next gig (coaching??)

Not if he's not a first round pick, the checks stop real quick on those non-guaranteed deals.

Obviously but I'd still chase the money until it stopped being lucrative.

I just hope when people like that read this they dont take it as we dont think he is good. There is nothing bad about being a great great great college player and top 5 cyclone etc. he will be successful in life no matter what.

Absolutely, even if you're in the D-League you're in the top .1% of basketball players in the world. Just takes one lucky break to get a shot. There are so many guys in the D-League, and overseas, that just need the right situation to suceed in the NBA. He should chase that dream as long as possible, coaching or whatever else he wants to do will always be there when that's over.

The Spurs would make sense. He's very similar offensively/crafty like Boris Diaw and if there is one coach that would make him eat, drink, and sleep defense it would be Pop. Who knows? Maybe it could work.

NBA or Euro...D-League doesn't pay squat. Better off moving on in life than going D-League unless you're Royce talent without the Royce head.

 

[JHUNSY]

Honestly, Nader's got a better shot.

 

[bringmagicback]

Some coach said there is no difference between the 8-12 guy in the NBA and the 1-5 guy in the NBDL...Just luck.

 

[BryceC]

The Spurs draft well. Let's be honest, chubby Boris Diaw isn't exactly the most athletic guy. He can find a spot if it's the right fit.

D-League is still the best way to get into the NBA, just one injury away from getting a ten day deal if some team likes what they see. Niang could play in Europe for years, that's not going anywhere.

I'd enjoy reading your reasoning.

not saying I agree, but, he jumps for one which is necessary at the next level unless you are arvydas sabonis......anyone?

Boris Diaw is much more athletic than you're giving him credit for.

 

[carvers4math]

McBuckets proves you can stay in the NBA and suck at defense.

 

[GTO]

Honestly, Nader's got a better shot.

Good Nader or bad Nader?

 

[CyJack13]

There's a story about Diaw maxing out the Suns vertical leap measuring system in sandals, without warming up. He's overweight, but he was superathletic coming into the league and is still an athletic chubby guy now.

 

[bringmagicback]

OMG, I just found the best comparison for Georges. He is a 6'8'' Arvydas Sabonis. Amazing.

 

[WhatMeWorry]

Just give him a chance, that's all I hope for.
