NBA Draft: Grading the Pacers' Pick

The Pacers went with a safe albeit accomplished option at 50 with the selection of Georges Niang. How did he grade out with Indycornrows?

Georges Niang
6'9" 231 lbs
Iowa State University

Grade: C+

With other promising second-round talents on the board, the Indiana Pacers selected four-year college player, Georges, Niang, with the 50th overall pick. Niang projects as a 4/3 in the NBA and while he's in short supply of NBA athleticism and quicks, he possesses an intriguing offensive profile, as he's equally adept at scoring in the post, from mid-range, and from three.
