Surprisingly he might be better off in a different offense. Fred wanted him to play a Tryus type role and he wasn't that great with it. He can do some things off the dribble that he didn't show too often so maybe Prohm is using him differently

My fear is that because of Prohm's affinity for point guards, that the offense will skew away from Georges this year. If that works, great, but I don't want our offense (or Georges) to suffer because Prohm is in love with PGs.
You suppose there isn't much thought of "Niang initiating offense" in summer practice games?
That would be my guess. Prohm is probably wanting to get a feel of what kind of guard play the team has to offer.
It is almost 4am in Spain and Jameel just tweeted this:

Man, I don't know. If he were 2" taller I'd say for sure he would be. The thing about the NBA is that you have to be tall enough for your position defensively. And if you're not, you better be off the charts talented offensively. And by tall enough, I mean PG minimum 6'2, SG minimum 6'4, SF minimum 6'7, PF minimum 6'10, C minimum 6'11. I'm not saying that is hard and fast, just my impression. If you're a 6'7 PF like Niang or Ejim, you are not going to make the league unless you can show SF skills and be able to guard an NBA SF. For McKay, he's never going to be able to pack on enough pounds to play the 5. And he's probably not tall enough to play the 5 anyway. He's plenty athletic and the NBA loves run/jump players, so that helps him. He needs to expand his range and be able to hit the baseline jumper and FT line jumper at the very least IMO.
Did he even take a jumpshot last year?
I'm sure he did but it wasn't many.
Tells me we're going to see something different team wise and with him.
Definitely an upgrade from the 3AM tweet asking for a ride to the emergency room!
Georges must be initiating a lot of the plays in the games in Spain under Prohm because he had 6 assists in one of the game, but he certainly needs to cut down on his turnovers. He fouled out in at least two of the three games so probably was getting called for offensive fouls which might be called a lot differently with international rules.
Does anyone know what time the game is played today? Originally it was said the games in Barcelona were to be played on the 17th and 19th but the first game was played on the 16th so I figured their last game would be played sometime today.

With a 7' plus wing span and his ability to run like a deer the NBA will find a spot for him.
