Last year they brought O'Neale out of nowhere for the full contract, so it wouldn't be completely shocking if they gave Kidd the full contract too.So maybe eventually Kidd will be a 2-way guy and Niang on the real roster?

That's not true. He signed full contract with 1 of the years fully guaranteed after summer league. The contract was signed on July 19th, 2017:That was after training camp and pre-season. Kidd looks like a good shooter, probably a better shooter than Crowder, and he has good size for a wing. He's an adequate athlete for the league.
Just a quick glance at his stats it looks like he has been able to hit the 3 throughout his college career and his 3 years in europe. Hope things work out for him.
His ability to hit 3's off the dribble is impressive. He could be deadly from long range in a Jazz offense that can generate open looks for him.
Or he can just be one of those guys in their mid 20's playing over his head in the SL because he's going against guys 4 or 5 years younger than him with a lot less experience.
I guess we'll know soon enough.
Kidd's best trait is athleticism.That was after training camp and pre-season. Kidd looks like a good shooter, probably a better shooter than Crowder, and he has good size for a wing. He's an adequate athlete for the league.
Royce O'Neale way way more unproven. Both were important role players for Eurocup teams(Kidd's team won the championship this year)no doubt in my mind it’s a 2 way deal. He’s completely unproven other then the fact that the jazz liked what they saw in SL. it’s not like there are any mins available for him in the rotation. The logical step is to put him on the GLeague team for an extended look.
