New England Renaissance Series: #9 Georges Niang
The New England Renaissance Series is an ongoing countdown of some of the best prospects in the region regardless of class. It is important not to dwell on the order of the rankings but rather on the unprecedented amount of talent the region possesses.

NERR Rank: 8 National Rank: NR
Niang might not have the highest ceiling of some of the others on this list, but the Iowa State commit might have been the most effective high school player in New England this year. He uses supreme footwork, feel for the game, and timing to be a scoring and rebounding machine for both BABC and Tilton. Here is his ESPN evaluation and highlight tape.
Niang is a highly skilled four-man who can score both inside and out. He is a throwback low-post player with exceptional footwork and a wide arsenal of offensive moves featuring every pivot and counter move in the book as well as a soft touch over either shoulder. Niang is equally dangerous on the perimeter as he has picture perfect shooting mechanics and is a very dangerous catch and shoot threat all the way out to the three-point line.
