Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.97.
A do-a-little-of-everything rookie season — boards, assists, nearly a steal in 25 minutes — with no single category to hang your hat on and 42% shooting to boot. Draft the minutes, not the line; he matters only if a real featured role develops.
Nique Clifford enters 2026-27 at #330 on our board — Round 28 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 24.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 64 games.
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
