Thank you. Missed you, bruh. I spied on your posts a few times.
Not sure what my level of participation will be. It'll probably be pretty sparse until the season starts.

Which part?
Good thing my threats of organized mob protest got us Niang.
Should change the thread title to "Niang Makes the Starting Lineup or We Riot Movement."

I think he starts in January and we will feel dumb we didn't do it earlier. Change all those Favors open threes into the corner into Niang open threes or Rudy dunks (cuz no one will leave a guy shooting better than 50% from three).
His defense has been pretty dang good too... you have to watch him specifically. He is very active and gets to the right spots. He's not disruptive, but very smart and tries really hard.
When we get serious about this whole winning basketball games thing then Niang will play more.
He also messes with his junk more than a baseball player... not sure what is going on but he needs to work on that.

would it be accurate to say he bears a resemblance to adam carolla? younger version, perhaps?

does a great job staying in front and contesting. pretty much what makes exum (or really anybody for that matter) so good defensively.

I like him even more... he's better looking, but I see the resemblance.

This plus he knows where to be... not just when guarding his guy he is a good team defender.
One thing I noticed in summer league is he was basically the quarterback of both the offense and the defense. Was constantly talking and getting his teammates the right spot. Just watch the little stuff he does. He's not Draymond, but I think he has enough intelligence and desire to be a plus team defender. Will likely get cooked on some switches here and there though.
