Former Iowa State forward Georges Niang says an unlikely player was Kansas’ best trash-talker during his career: one-and-done forward Joel Embiid.
“Just because whatever you could get out of him that you could understand I thought was pretty funny,” Niang said with a laugh, “and he was pretty slick with it.”
Niang, who is training in Los Angeles before the NBA draft, joined us on our SportsBeat KC podcast this week while discussing a number of KU-related topics.
One was the reception he received on KU’s senior night following an 85-78 Jayhawks victory, as Niang was given a standing ovation after the game by the Allen Fieldhouse crowd.
