Las Vegas • It’s much easier now, two seasons in the rearview, for Georges Niang to look back and say his path was the right one.
He’s had a strong week of summer league play in both Salt Lake City and Las Vegas across five games for the Jazz. After Sunday night’s 20-point effort in a win over the Knicks, Jazz assistant Alex Jensen called Niang an unquestionable NBA roster-worthy player.
It’s validation for the 25-year-old forward, who has mostly bounced around the G League after he was a second-round draft pick in 2016.
