With training camp a week away, the Sixers will be introducing some new and old faces to the fanbase come opening night. One of these new faces will be the 6-foot-7, 28-year-old sharpshooting forward Georges Niang, who previously played for the Utah Jazz.
The Iowa State product was drafted as the 50th pick by the Indiana Pacers in 2016. After being waived by the Pacers and spending some time with the Warriors’ Santa Cruz G-League team, he would eventually be picked up by the Jazz. During his time with the Jazz, Niang would go from being an end of the bench rotation player to a regular season contributor.
