George Niang‘s journey to the NBA and the Utah Jazz has really been something. He went from being a chunky tweener, to being one of the best college basketball players in the world, to getting drafted by an NBA team real quick.
The journey doesn’t stop there. Niang fought his way onto the Indiana Pacers roster as a second-round draft pick. He also knows what it’s like to be waived. After being waived, Niang was fighting for his life again, signing a training camp deal with the Golden State Warriors before netting a two-way contract with the Jazz.
