Rookie Report Part One: Nique Clifford

Nick and Ray start their three-part series on the Sacramento Kings rookie class with Nique Clifford, the 24th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. They cover his two-way versatility and some of his areas for improvement going forward. They talk about his shooting, his struggles to start the season, and his better shooting as of late. They also talk about his advanced defense for a rookie and his outlook on that end going forward. Finally, they wrap up by picking a song title that describes their thoughts on the chances that the Kings have of realistically contending in the 2029-2030 season.
