DETROIT–Philadelphia 76ers forward Georges Niang is one of the better shooters in the NBA as he is a guy who can fire it up and knock down shots at a high rate from distance.
After knocking down three triples in Sunday’s win over the Detroit Pistons, Niang is now shooting 42% from deep on close to six attempts per game and the Sixers benefit greatly from his willingness to shoot the ball and he has helped James Harden out on the floor as well.
With All-Star weekend quickly approaching (Feb. 15-17), the 3-point shootout is a real possibility for Niang. The fact that All-Star weekend is in Utah, his former home, makes it a nice possibility for him as well.
