We are now in year four of the “Georges Niang Experiment”, which is an effort by me to foster the creation of new and exciting art by using a neural network hosted on my spare highlight rig to create randomly generated music, seeded with images of Georges Niang. It’s been streaming live on YouTube under a different name for a little over four years, and no, I won’t give you the link. I prefer to keep my ventures separate. But do the words “lo-fi hip hop” sound familiar?
We are also now in year four of the “Georges Niang Experiment”, which is a fun project by certain NBA teams to try and find out if Georges Niang is a viable NBA player. Results are, thus far, inconclusive, but promising enough that he hasn’t been waived and sent to Europe with the rest of the rejects.
I’m surprised he’s made it this long, considering he hasn’t shown much in the way of, well, anything. He can score a little bit, often pulling out some bizarre floater-type thing (as we’ve seen in my previous vids for him as well as this one). He can shoot threes now, over 40 percent over the last two years, which are the only years where he’s played enough minutes for his stats to have meaning and not just be random blips and blorps. But outside of scoring, you’re not getting much. Defense? Don’t care. Intangibles? He’s probably not a team cancer, so he’s got that going for him, I guess. Tangibles? Are DNP’s tangible or intangible?
