Georges Niang may not be one of the most popular and well-known NBA players around but he has still done an awful lot during his seven years in the league.
In fact, he has racked up a huge amount of wins since 2016.
As noted by StatMuse, Niang leads the entire league with the number of wins in the 2020s.
He has scored 210 victories, which is ahead of Jayson Tatum, Nikola Jokic, and Mikal Bridges, who each have 199.

Since being signed in 2016, Niang has played for the Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, and Cleveland Cavaliers.
This is his first season with the Cavaliers and so far he is averaging 8.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists.
Cleveland is the second-best team in the Eastern Conference and has scored 36 wins.
Those wins helped raise his total, as did his time with the 76ers and especially the very competitive Jazz a few seasons ago.
Niang has always been a bench player and has only started in 20 games during his entire career.
But he has made a name for himself as a reliable and smart role player who can help the second unit.
This Cavaliers squad could be the best team that Niang has ever been a part of.
There are many analysts who think they might have what it takes to get far into the playoffs this year.
The roster was tweaked last summer and Niang was just one of the few additions brought in to boost the team’s chances.
That move seems to have helped a lot and the Cavaliers are looking better than they have in years.
How successful will this team be for the rest of the season and how many more wins can Niang add to his impressive total?
