Is Nique Clifford the Hidden Gem That Could Shake Up the 2025 NBA Draft?
For where they drafted him, the Kings can’t be mad if Clifford ends up being a similar type of NBA player to Jaquez. But what happens if Clifford’s moves aren’t crisp enough to generate separation or his midrange calibration gets thrown off against taller defenders?
If that happens, Clifford becomes like the numerous other wings/forwards who are positives on defense but kill their teams on offense (Josh Okogie, for example). In that instance, Clifford could be valuable as a back-end rotation player in the regular season, but he wouldn’t be very useful in the postseason.ÂÂ
