LAS VEGAS — Food. Gym. Movies.
It’s pretty much the same routine for Georges Niang and Naz Mitrou-Long.
Living in the same Salt Lake City apartment for the summer, the best friends and Utah Jazz Summer League teammates bond through basketball.
“It sounds boring, but that’s all we do,” Mitrou-Long explained.
And the connection is paying off.
That’s how Mitrou-Long was able to spot a streaking Niang seamlessly for a fastbreak jam over No. 4 pick Jaren Jackson Jr. during a July 3 game versus the Memphis Grizzles in the Utah Jazz Summer League.
