Georges Niang vs. Jay Crowder

[framer]

Jay is 10/5/2 on 40/39/76 in 27.5 minutes for an 11.88 PER while Niang is 7/3/1 on 44/43/96 in 11.8 minutes a game for an 11.37 per. Both play scrappy defense.

I never would have believed that Niang could basically have replaced Crowder at a fraction of the salary and allowed us to pay and play Bojan too. It is a minor miracle and part of the reason why the Jazz did so well this year. The bad part is that Crowder is worth a full MLE slot and Niang could get that or something close next year.

The funny thing is that I found myself plenty of times wishing we had "someone Like Crowder" to complete the team when it turns out we did, right before our eyes. If you placed Crowder in Niang's minutes he would have looked equal to worse.

Good on the Minivan!

Still would've liked to have Crowder for his toughness and defense. However, if we kept Crowder, Georges wouldn't have developed as he has.

Not sure Crowder would have been happy at 12 minutes a game. Would rather have Bojan out there than Crowder most of the time.

Niang has likely earned some real playoff rotation minutes. Hopefully he’s up to the task.

Just wait until he locks up Leonard completely. His legend can only grow.

I once thought that niang shouldn't be in the nba. Now he is a very important piece of a championship caliber team and I'm scared to lose him next year.

Love niang. Best shooter on the team imo

Jae

Yea, you for sure take Jae for the playoffs, until proven otherwise, but hope that you end up being proven otherwise.

 

[yamers]

jae crowder prolly.

why? he is a winner.He is a great piece and tough as nails.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Been trying to tell you guys how good Niang is for a good year or two. He does pretty much what Jae does in a lot less minutes. I’m not surprised at all what he’s given us

No, Jae Crowder sucks. I was just correcting his name. I'd rather have Niang. I think Niang has played better D this year than Jae ever played in Utah

I always thought Crowder's defense was overrated. He was gambling for steals way too much.
