Georges Niang mic’d up advice to Sam Merrill



I thought this was a good watch and figured I’d share it with you guys here.

Check out Georges’ mic’d up clip, specifically when he talks to Sam. Niang tells Sam when the team is in transition, he (Sam) needs to call for a pin down screen from a teammate especially when he’s cooking from 3.

When you check out Merrill’s final 3pt shot of the game, Sam is running directly behind Okoro, you can slightly see him say something to Okoro. Then Okoro immediately stops, sets the screen, and there’s an easy 3pt make for Sam.

The same thing actually happens on Sam’s layup on the highlight before. Okoro sets another screen for him, but Sam drives to the hoop instead of taking the more difficult 3pt shot.

It’s little things like this that make this pickup great for our team. And as a fan, it just makes me love this guy even more. Thanks for reading.

Go Vavs!
