The Miami Heat enters the 2025 NBA Draft with significant stakes, holding just one pick at No. 20 after missing out on Kevin Durant. The team faces multiple needs, particularly for high-level two-way wing depth. Potential draftees include Nique Clifford, Cedric Coward, and Rasheer Fleming, all of whom could make an immediate impact. Although they could trade their pick, keeping it could allow the Heat to choose a player with top-15 talent. Clifford, at 23, stands out with impressive statistics and skills, especially in rebounding and shooting efficiency.
Clifford averaged 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game last year on 49.6 percent shooting, including 37.7 percent from 3-point range.
Nique Clifford is a late-blooming prospect who has become an improved shot creator and three-level scorer, showing notable skill as an off-ball mover.
