Kenny Atkinson calls Georges Niang ‘the ultimate connector’

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson loves what Georges Niang brings to the group as a teammate/player (averaging 9.6 PPG/3.4 RPG/0.4 TOV/54.0% FG/37.5% 3-PT/100% FT during the last seven games).

(via Cleveland Cavaliers):

“He’s so smart. I love that word connector. He’s the ultimate connector. He kept telling me all year, ‘My shots gonna come. My shots gonna come. I’m not making shots.’ And he’s what? 40% (three-point shooter) career I think. I knew that was gonna turn. The shooting’s fine; I love all the other stuff he does. Such a cerebral player, makes everyone around him better.”
