Nique Clifford’s rookie season showed promise but was hampered by inefficient shooting, especially from three and the line. With the addition of playmaking guard Darius Acuff Jr., Clifford’s offense could finally get the floor spacing he needs—already hinted at in the California Classic. Without consistent shooters around him, Clifford struggled to score. Analysts expect a scoring uptick to 10-15 points per game if he improves his shot selection and aggression. While his long-term starter status is up in the air, his defense and rebounding should lock him into a rotation role—if he can become a more efficient and consistent scorer, he’ll prove his 24th overall pick was a smart bet.
