This is crazy. I know it is. But bear with me.
Georges Niang has a chance to be the 4 of the future for the Utah Jazz. That is, assuming the Jazz don’t sign Tobias Harris or another free agent of his ilk this summer.
Yes, Niang’s only logged 87 minutes with Utah. And no, that’s nowhere near enough to facilitate a leap like this. But when you look at where NBA basketball is going, in combination with Niang’s size and skill, it’s not that crazy.
Again, we need to be operating under the assumption that Utah strikes out in free agency over the next couple summers.
