If someone mentions Georges Niang to Naz Mitrou-Long, the Utah Jazz shooting guard is going to tell that person to ask his best friend a question: “Tell him to get the guns out.”
And, if that person does ask the question, Niang will smile, then evolve into laughter and flex his muscles.
It’s a homage to how hard Niang has worked to add muscle and lean out what was once a soft and flabby frame. As the Utah Jazz progress entering Thursday’s final day of summer league at Vivint Smart Home Arena before heading to Las Vegas, Niang has looked like a different player.
