His attitude. My favorite part of the game was after he got his 4th foul, he huddled with the guys out there clapping and giving them encouragement. I like it because he makes about the team, not about him.

I thought you were going to say his goatee...
Playing vs noel in hs was huge for his development
Fred's comment on Niang when he signed. Its pretty spot on. He didn't say anything about others being immediate impacts.
Hoiberg on Niang:
"Georges will make an immediate impact in our program. He can score with anyone on the block and can take his defender on the perimeter and score from there. He is a throwback player who will find a way to beat you. He also plays the game with passion and is a player who will make his teammates better."
I like how he puts the ball in the bucket on a consistent basis.
I literally LOL at some of the buckets he gets. Like tonight. They throw a pass at him as he's running away not having any clue that its heading for him. Then at the last second he turns, catches it (amazing catch) and puts in a contested layup against a defender that has 4 inches on him.
Imagine if Niang put on muscle like Royce. One thing I've noticed, is the amount of flopping teams do with Niang. Baylor tried it at the beginning of the game and realized it wasn't going to work. What I really remember is the number of times the Texas players were fainting and laying down on the ground when we played them at Hilton, it was ridiculous.
