Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread
I get some Desmond Bane vibes from this one.
Bleacher ReportNique Clifford (Colorado State, SF/PF)
Size: 6'6", 200 lbs
Age: 23
Nationality: USA
Pro Comparison: Cody Martin
Nique Clifford put together one of the more impressive displays of scoring versatility this cycle with 36 points against Boise State. It was a direct reflection of his improved self-creation and expanding shotmaking versatility off the dribble and from the post.
Clifford had come off as a prospect to watch this year based on his ability to play a Swiss Army knife role by finishing plays, passing, defending different spots and making enough open threes. But he's suddenly turned into a top-option skill player who can get a bucket against a set defense.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread
Keep an eye out on Clifford to Atlanta if he's on the board at either draft spot.
I'm curious what position the 6'6" wing plays in Atlanta if he's selected...

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread
From Givony at ESPN Insider:
Nique Clifford, SG, Colorado State
Top 100 ranking: 25 | PR: 39
Height: 6-6 | Age: 23.1 | TS%: 60.9%
Clifford's college career ended with a strong NCAA tournament. He dropped a combined 35 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists in two games against likely the best competition he has faced this season in Memphis and Maryland. Though his jumper wasn't falling (0-for-9 on 3s), Clifford demonstrated the myriad ways he impacts winning on both ends, handling significant shot-creation duties and making good decisions with the ball. Defensively, he fought over screens, denied off the ball, generated turnovers, and brought terrific intensity against smaller players.
Clifford, 23, looks like a plug-and-play wing option ready to enter a playoff team's rotation thanks to his feel for the game, maturity, and strong intensity. If his 38% 3-point shooting this season holds up, he should carve out a long and fruitful NBA career.
