Y'all acted like Niang wasnt a threat from 3 tho. It was just a wild opinion to have.

It can simultaneously true that he’s a good shooter and that he’s not been in the opponent’s scouting report/a priority/a “threat”, at least in part because he couldn’t put up many shots.

Nuance is a thing, as is things changing too! Amazing.

Nothing's changed. Niang was a really good shooter and continues to be. He's just having a hot streak currently. He is definitely on team's scouting report as a guy you don't want to leave open.

I’m sure he is now, yes.

And yes, a number of things have clearly, demonstrably changed. Things changing doesn’t necessarily undermine your point. Take a breath.

Is there a financial reason why? Or is it just you don't think the Jazz would go that route?

I don’t believe anyone has the cap space, but if one did, we’d be sending an asset to dump Ed, they wouldn’t be sending an asset.

Exaggerated. His +/- was (and remains) brutal. Should not be guarding 3s which he was doing, also.

The whole bench was brutal on +/-. Niang was making the right reads on defense, but the unit couldn’t guard together to save its life. He isn’t a great one-on-one defender, but he’s playable and doesn’t foul. Now that he’s playing with a unit that is finding him at his spots and playing some defense, his value is revealed. And obvious.
 
Someone tell me why the Jazz couldn’t or shouldn’t go after Willy Hernangomez? He ain’t sexy but he looks like a good player to me. He’s obviously not preferable to Baynes or others we’ve had conversations about but it looks like he fits the bill to me (productive albeit in limited minutes, reasonably experienced, not scared to shoot open 3s). Could trade TB straight across (I have a tough time seeing TB as playable in the playoffs).

He’s got some interesting per 36 numbers. Color me intrigued.

I got to the part where you said he wasn’t sexy and I stopped reading... he sexy AF.
 
Ok.. who’s going to start the Willy Hernangomez thread? I think we need a rule that anyone we play who looks somewhat passable gets a thread. He looks good in the pick and roll.

@Jazzta give us the low down.
