When the Sacramento Kings selected Nique Clifford at No. 24 overall at the 2025 NBA Draft, a statement was made. The Kings made a clear commitment to bolstering their perimeter with a young and promising player who could provide on and off-ball value.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest steals of the 2025 NBA Draft is already revealing the flaw in the design of Sacramento's roster.
Clifford is currently playing with the Kings at Summer League. He's taken advantage of the opportunity to reside in the spotlight, starting things off by posting 17 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block against the Orlando Magic.
