The Italian cup winner Saliou Niang makes 2025 NBA design for decision

“At that moment I want to take a moment to look back and to remember this little boy who fell in love with basketball,” Nang begins.

“The same passion is driving every day that I spend in the gym. I could never have made it alone here, and that's why I would like to thank my family with all my heart that I always stood by my side through the toughest moments and that with me through the best, as the Italian trophy celebrated with me, how the Italian trophy would like to thank this year.

“Today, with the same humility and awareness that there is still room for growing, I officially declare for the NBA design of 2025!”

Personal references

The Italian-Senegalese wing lady Sarr congratulated Niang. Jordan Ford, who came from California, an outstanding college who played in 2023-24 in a two-way contract for the Sacramento Kings noticed that he needs Niang “in a Sacramento jersey”. Apart from a trade, the kings only have a selection in the NBA design of 2025, which will be the 42nd overall election.

Since Ford 2024-25 was on the Aquila Trento squad, he could only have supported one teammate. Since Sarr 2024-25 plays for FC Barcelona, ​​his camaraderie cannot be questioned in the same way. Sarr's support from Niang is also interesting because the former attract the attention of NBA scouts. In fact, the youngest Big Board from ESPN Draft Jonathan Givony brought him 31st place in the bladder of the first rounds of rounds.

After this is said, Ford and Sarr are willing to support Niang for good reason.

Scouting report

Niang's counting statistics are not noticeable. In 2024-25, he scored an average of 7.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game, while converting 32.4 percent of his 3S. Advanced statistics tend to favor him more, especially with regard to his offensive evaluation (120.7) and the defense assessment (92.8). The relatively outdated, but still fascinating efficiency assessment of the players (Pro) also paints a promising picture because he published a 24.5.

Where it really stands out is on tape.

With 6-foot 5, Niang has fascinating skills.

As a smooth driver, he has an attacking way of thinking and prefers to get into the teeth of the defense. Nevertheless, he is a three -story goal scorer who is able to stop on a cent to create or pirouetten a defender to make room. His way of thinking not only reflects his self -confidence, but also his awareness of his physical tools. He is too long for guards and too agile for the strikers. He has enough nuclear power to score through contact, but effortlessly rises over the edge.

It is probably surprising because in 2024-25 he only achieved an average of 1.5 templates per game. However, his game potential is also easy to recognize. Its placement and creativity as a passer -by can be used, whether he has a living dribble, stands in the key at the top or the ball is in.

Niang can undoubtedly polish his game. Nevertheless, he has the basis of a potential role player.
