Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -3.63.
Golden State signed him for one year and $3.9M on August 25 to finish the roster, and that framing is the projection: he is the fifteenth man on a Curry team, not a rotation bet. The skill is narrow and genuine — 1.4 threes on 46/85 splits with almost no turnovers, a stretch four who spaces the floor and does nothing else. At 14 minutes behind Draymond, Porziņģis and Moody there is not enough volume to carry a category. Relevant only in the deepest leagues, or as a punt-turnovers streamer when Golden State's frontcourt thins out.
Georges Niang enters 2026-27 at #413 on our board — Round 35 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 6.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 14.5 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and free-throw percentage, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. He's working back from injury, and the projection already prices the return: we expect about 54 games, so the per-game line only pays on the nights he's actually out there.
