clifford can do a little bit of everything.
he’s not great at anything specifically, but he’s also not bad at anything. he can pass, he can shoot (primarily mid-ranges), his defense isn’t all that bad, just a little worried about him as a ball handler.
glue guy, some contending teams could probably find good use of clifford on their roster, don’t expect much more of him than what we see now though.

High End: Derrick White Low End: Colby Jones Median outcome: Wesley Matthews/Josh Hart Pros: Rebounding, athleticism, scoring, playmaking, defense Cons: Age, shooting consistency Verdict: Primarily an on-ball scorer at CSU, Nique has finally made the shooting jump in his final senior season and it has significantly improved his role projection in the NBA. It's hard to be fully sure if this shooting jump is anomalous or not, but either way Clifford should be a good role player bet with his combination of high feel and motor along with his off-ball game. Also important to note how good of a rebounder Clifford is for his size, Podziemski was similarly drafted because of his outlier statistical profile.

Clifford egy nagyon jó role player lehet az Nba-ben, érzéke van az üresbe mozgásra és a védők olvasására. Védőként megbízható de nem hiszem hogy kezdő perceket kapna bárhol.

Though NBA teams will eye Nique Clifford for a glue-guy role that values versatility, he continues to excel as Colorado State's lead option.
He carried the Rams to an overtime win over TCU, wowing with self-created drives and tough shotmaking while padding his 25 points with 12 boards, six assists and three blocks.
Clifford's most realistic NBA case revolves around improved shooting, consistent rebound, passing IQ and defensive playmaking. But he's clearly taken another step forward with his handle and one-on-one skills.
