As the riders remain on 15 wins in a row and have not lost since the arrival of D'Andre Hunter, they are delighted with the transfer made in early February. On the other hand, Caris Lever and Georges Niangwho left Cleveland for Atlanta, can feel less lucky after this exchange. But this is not the case for the second, even if it had to be accepted the news.
“You have to digest and then, when you arrive in town, you tell yourself that it is real. We can't get used to it until we get a reason and turn the page »,, Indicates the shooter. “It is only recently that it was put in place and it is exciting. We can really enjoy what happened. We didn't know if we were going to be able to cross this, but we get out. »»
If the Hawks have a still negative assessment (31 victories for 34 defeats), despite three successful victories, they are in the race for the “play-in” with their seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Georges Niang therefore certainly left the best team in the league but he did not arrive in Washington or Charlotte either.
“Frankly, it's great. We have a good and young team, hungry, which is exciting. It brings new energy ”he describes and you can believe it since it runs at 14 points on an average of 40% of 3-PTS success in its new colors, playing more than Cleveland too.
“Important to share your knowledge”
In addition, the former Philadelphia player found Quin Snyder in Georgia, which he had known in Utah. It is with him and in jazz that Georges Niang definitely made his place in the NBA. “I know that the person in charge believes in me and the things he expects from me”he slips. “It can have the impact in several ways, which are not seen in statistics”adds the Hawks coach.
Finally, in addition to the opportunity to inflate his statistics and minutes, he can also bring his experience. With Clint Capela and Trae Young, the Hawks are not devoid of this area but with his 528 regular seasonal matches and 56 of playoffs, he has things to say to young Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels or Zaccharie Risacher.
“I wouldn’t know what I know if there weren't Joe Ingles, Mike Conley, Rudy Gobert, Rodney Stuckey and Tobias Harris”Georges Niang list. “Any guy helped me over time, to see things differently. It is very important to share your knowledge, especially for young people. »»
