Nique Clifford, a guard from Colorado State, shows significant potential as a “3-and-D” wing, making him a strong candidate for the Boston Celtics in the upcoming NBA Draft. With impressive collegiate averages of 18.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, along with a solid 37.7% shooting from beyond the arc, Clifford aligns well with the Celtics’ successful strategy under coach Joe Mazzulla. However, concerns about his age and whether he will still be available by the Celtics’ No. 28 pick remain key considerations for Boston.
