When the Sacramento Kings picked up Nique Clifford, there were a lot of voices calling him the steal of the draft. The reality hasn't quite measured up to that until last night, when Clifford scored a career-best 15 points. It's the kind of performance that showed fans who Nique really is.
After an eye-catching run in preseason play, Clifford came into the regular season with big expectations from fans. Outside of a couple of good outings, he's been quiet for the most part. The problem is that he's on a guard on a team loaded with guards, fighting for minutes.
