Georges Niang’s play proves a pleasant surprise for the Utah Jazz bench

Since traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Dante Exum and a pair of second-round picks, Jordan Clarkson has proven to be an absolute scoring stud for the Utah Jazz off the bench. He’s not the only one, however. That same day, with Jeff Green soon finding himself out of a job, Georges Niang has happily scooped up Green’s 18.4-minute average …

He’s certainly made the most of the extra playing time.

Last Sunday, during the Jazz’s thrilling 128-126 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Niang splashed home five of eight three-point attempts, nabbing 15 points in a mere 17 minutes of play off the bench.
