Joel Embiid On Georges Niang: I Used To Think He Sucked

Joel Embiid thinks much more highly of Georges Niang now that they're teammates on the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid didn't think much of the forward's game when Niang played for the Utah Jazz.

"I used to think he sucked, honestly", Embiid said.

Niang is playing a career-high 22.7 minutes per game. He's been the first forward off the bench for the Sixers all season long. In 10 games, Niang is averaging career-best nearly across the board. He's put up 11.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

Niang has also maintained a high three-point percentage as he's upped his volume. Niang is shooting 41% from behind the arc on 6.1 attempts per game.

Embiid said, "Obviously, on this team he's doing way more than (shooting three-pointers). What I'm impressed with is he's a competitor. He brings so much joy to all of us, on and off the court. I'm just glad I have him."
