LA Clippers’ first-round pick, Yanic Konan Niederhauser, dominated in the preseason finale against the Golden State Warriors, showing that if developed correctly, he will soon take over for Brook Lopez as the team’s backup center. However, evolving and learning correctly is the most crucial part, and part of it will be dependent on the G-League.
Moreover, Niederhauser ended the contest against the Warriors with 13 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks, shooting 50% from the floor. This game, in a matchup with rotational pieces for the Warriors, was better than all of his summer league games that took place after being drafted.
