Niang signs with GSW (Update: Now Utah)

[I-stateTheTruth]

I checked the Salt Lake City Stars' schedule: they play tonight at 6:30 at Sioux Falls and it's supposed to be on Facebook live (conflicts with ISU-TCU game). I'll sneak a peek to see if Naz and Georges are both on the court together again.

The game is actually at 6:30 pm, so it should only conflict with the first half hour of the men's basketball game tonight.

We never get to see that part of the game anyway so that works out perfect

Especially if we follow West Virginia...lucky to see the first half after Thuggy Ball.

Totally random but Coach Otzelberger is sitting in front of us here at the game watching Naz and Georges play

I wouldn’t call it “minutes” but it was really fun to see Niang come in in the last minute of the game (which was a huge route of GSW). No points for Georges, but he may get credited for a steal (or at least he caused a turnover). After the game, it looked like Georges got some hugs from his former Warrior teammates.

ESPN box score credited him with the steal.

Hope he is still on the team Monday night because I have tickets for when the Jazz come to NOLA to play the Pelicans

Georges is so dang crafty.

Old man's game.

Watching the UVA/VT game and Isaiah Wilkins from Virginia just said that Georges was the toughest player to guard in his career. Playing in the ACC for four years, he has faced a few big time players so for him to say that is pretty high praise.

The first one ends with "Big Time Georges!" Nice.

Nice. Happy to see Georges earning and getting his shot. He's in a good spot in Utah. They're one of the teams that are fully embracing the value of the G League as a development tool. I love the Pacers but they gave up on him way too soon.

End of season highlights put out by the Jazz

Hopefully Georges and Naz can both really break into the league next year. If not, I imagine the allure of chasing a bigger paycheck overseas will be too much to resist.

Niang will tear it up in Europe for the next decade. His game is such a good fit for that league. That euro step will make him virtually unstoppable there.
