What does reserve forward Georges Niang bring to the Boston Celtics? Traded to the Celtics at the start of Boston offseason to help the team’s front office get off of the contract of big man Kristaps Porzingis as part of their work to get under the NBA’s second apron, Niang has not exactly been embraced by the Boston faithful just yet.
Some of that ire may be tied to his scrappy play against now teammate Jaylen Brown, but that same play could win him some fans when it is for the Celtics. A very self-aware rotation player with no illusions about where he stands in the team’s current and former pecking order, Niang did himself a favor with his words about his new home. But what does he bring to the court for Boston next season if he does not get dealt again before the start of the 2025-25 NBA season?
