Niang Makes the Team or We Riot Movement

I'm on the Niang Gang.


Love that we have a dude as solid as Niang at the end of our bench. Hopefully the speed of the NBA game doesn't change his game. Our system should help him though.

Has Niang slapped a restraining order against you yet?

No in fact he has given me a permitting order... his legal council told me I am allowed to irrationally Stan for him in all places of the interwebs

Really, you look at our bench and the only one perhaps not capable of contributing is Bradley - although Allen is an unknown. Even guys like Udoh, Neto and Niang could step in as needed. Do the Jazz have the deepest team in the league?

Super deep... even Bradley could fill in and give spot minutes at center imo. like if he had to play 10 minutes a game for 10-15 games to navigate an injury I don't think he'd kill us.

Why don't we change the thread title to Niang Makes First Team All Star or we Riot? Y'all talk like he's already guaranteed 6th man of the year award. Ill wait for him to play at least one game before anointing the 15th roster spot a solid contributor.

Saying he can step in if needed and that he could contribute isn’t saying he is an all star or even a solid contributor.
Where did you get that from the post you quoted?
 
I do wonder if Niang could be the PF version of Joe Ingles. All the same criticisms were made about Joe Ingles when we signed him (too slow, can't jump, not an NBA player, etc). Plus Niang is 3 years younger than Joe was when we first signed him. I think it will be important not to give up on Niang in the first year. Ingles wasn't particularly good his first year here (9 PER, .53 TS), but mastered the system and is now our 3rd best player.

I said contribute. Geez, you responded as if I said he'd average 20 pts/per. I think he's capable of playing decent NBA minutes...against fellow subs. He's going to get a lot of DNP's. Most games he probably sits behind the bench in a suit if everyone else is healthy.

At PF, he's behind Favors, Crowder and probably Thabo. Can he make the same kind of "impact" Jerebko did? Probably. But likely fewer mins as Thabo is back and Jazz have Crowder for the full year.
