Georges Niang says this was the closest team he's been a part of: 'These guys actually care' | Utah Jazz
Georges Niang isn’t known as a defensive stopper, but it was a defensive highlight that might best illustrate the forward’s season.Back in January, Niang ran the length of the court, chased down Clippers guard Patrick Beverley, and swatted him at the rim.“It speaks volumes about this team that the next day at my locker there was this huge canvas. It was a gift from Joe [Ingles], a picture of me blocking that shot,” Niang said. “It just goes to show you that it’s bigger than basketball here. They care about who you are.”
