Cheickh Niang

Draft Notes

An active and rangy wing prospect with great movement skills and awesome tools to work with.

Plays an aggressive, slashing style and puts a lot of pressure on the defense with his ability to drive the ball. Has long strides and covers a lot of ground.

Can break defenders down with the dribble and get into the lane. Isn’t the most polished driver and ball handler but shows a lot of promise.

The outside shot is a work in progress and is not yet a big part of his game.

Has some play making instincts and sees the floor well for a young wing.
