Post-Lottery NBA Mock Draft: Nique Clifford Design Processes

The former basketball star in Colorado State Nique Clifford is projected as a choice in the first round in the upcoming NBA design.
Clifford is currently participating in the NBA Draft Combine and is expected to be designed by various analysts between 13 and 23.
Clifford is praised for his defense skills, his skills and offensive.

The next steps in the NBA design picture are in focus for Nique Clifford.

Colorado State Herren's former basketball star is currently in Chicago and participates in the NBA Draft Scouting Combine. It measure with 6 feet, 5.25 inches, £ 202 and with a 6-8 wingspan on the combine harvester.

The NBA design of the draft truck took place on May 12th, which puts the order of the selection. It is important for Clifford and CSU fans because the former RAM is not only projected as a selection in the first round, but is also a lottery choice.

Here are 10 different shifts from national analysts according to the lottery and where they project Clifford to land:

Sports illustrated

Kevin Sweeney puts Clifford in 17th place on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.

“After a monster near the season, Clifford's share seems to rise into the present process in the US state of Colorado and a strong start,” writes Sweeney. “He is an older prospect of the age of 23 at the age of five, but he should add a lot of value as a defender, passer-by and slasher that can make catch and shooting trians.”

ESPN

Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woos Post-Lottery-Mock have clifford in the first round in the first round in the Indiana Pacers.

“Clifford built up positive enthusiasm this spring and took into account teams in the top 20, with the chance to become a riser in the next few weeks. The lack of experienced, reliable older college wings will help Clifford's shares to achieve a do-it all season in Colorado,” writes Woo.

“Clifford's willingness to make a contribution would be a thrust for the Pacers' bank, which is currently missing a larger, sportier defender in its form.”

The athlete

Sam Vecenie by The Athletic places Clifford in 16th place in magic.

“Orlando could use another player who is wise and can reflect shots from the scope. Clifford's defense game could also address coach Jamahl Mosley,” writes Vecenie. “It is worth mentioning that you took a similar player in Tristan da Silva last year, but you can't have enough large wings that can shoot and defend.”

Another interesting note, Clifford was teammate at Da Silva in Colorado before Clifford switched to the CSU.

The wrestler

The wrestler Slots Clifford in the first round in 16th place on Orlando Magic.

“Clifford's maturity as a defender and versatility on the offensive simply make too much sense for magic,” writes the wrestl.

For victory

USA TODAY's for victory author Bryan Kalbrosky is another place with Clifford in 17th place in Minnesota.

“Clifford is the oldest player that we projected in the first round, but he looks ready to contribute to an NBA rotation,” writes Kalbrosky.

CBS Sport

Three authors from CBS Sports have a post-lottery mock design:

Kyle Boone: Boone has Clifford in the first round in 13th place in the Atlanta Hawks.
Adam Finkelstein: Finkelstein has Clifford No. 15 overall to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Gary Parrish: Parrish also has Clifford in 15th place in the thunder.

Bleacher report

Jonathan Wassman's Mock design by Bleacher Report on NBA.com after the Lottery Clifford has 15th place in 15th place in the first round.

“He had observed as a prospect of this season based on his ability to play a Swiss knife role by ending games, saying goodbye, defending different places and making enough open threes,” Wasserman writes. “But he quickly turned into a top option skill player who can get his own shot or serve as a playmaker of the offensive.”

Yahoo sport

Kevin O'Connor has Minnesota in 17th place when choosing Clifford.

“Clifford is a hard wing that does everything. He defends several positions, crashes the boards and scores from anywhere,” writes O'Connor. “The Timberwolves could use this type of dynamic skills of a role player, since Clifford can offer some creations and pass on its basic skills.”
