2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bones made a bold move when he asked to be traded from the Denver Nuggets last season, and it was one of the biggest mistakes any player made all season. Not only did Denver win a championship, but Hyland lost a backup point guard job with the Nuggets and wasn't a consistent part of the rotation after his trade to the Clippers. His volatility did not play well for coach Tyronn Lue. In his final 14 games of the year with the Clips, Hyland averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.9 threes across 19 minutes a night. The frustrating thing is that Bones is a talented player, averaging 16.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.3 steals in a four-game stretch near the end of the season. We all know he can go off at times, but he's not going to be a fantasy-relevant player unless this rotation thins out. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard dominate the usage, while Russell Westbrook, Norman Powell and Terance Mann need backcourt touches as well. That has made the Clippers a difficult team to trust over recent years, and we won't see Hyland play more than 20 minutes as long as this team is fully healthy. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Nah'Shon Lee Hyland was born in September 2000 in Wilmington, Delaware. As a child, he was nicknamed "Bones" because of his skinny physique. Hyland attended Delaware's St. Georges Technical High School, where he particularly excelled during his senior year. He averaged 26.6 points, 4.6 assists and 3.4 steals en route to the state tournament's semifinals. Hyland earned first-team All-State honors and won Delaware's Player of the Year Award. The four-star high school recruit eventually committed to playing for VCU. Hyland averaged 9.0 points and was a part of the 2020 Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team. The guard became a regular starter during his sophomore year, when he first showed signs of becoming an NBA player. Hyland averaged 19.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals en route to becoming Atlantic Player of the Year in 2021. He declared for the 2021 draft after two college seasons. Hyland was selected 26th overall by the Denver Nuggets, becoming VCU's first NBA draftee since Larry Sanders in 2010.

Scores 20 points off bench
GLos Angeles Clippers
April 21, 2023
Hyland ended with 20 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 loss to the Suns in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Hyland saw 13 and 14 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the series, but with Kawhi Leonard (knee) joining Paul George (knee) on the sidelines Thursday, the second-year guard saw an uptick in playing time and took advantage. He was aggressive offensively and finished third on the team in scoring behind Norman Powell and Russell Westbrook thanks to a busy night at the charity stripe. If the Clippers' two superstars remain sidelined for Saturday's Game 4, Hyland should again see a sizable role off the bench.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No worse for the wear
GLos Angeles Clippers
April 9, 2023
Hyland was involved in a bench scuffle with Mason Plumlee after the third quarter of Sunday's victory over Phoenix, via Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Hyland and Plumlee are key contributors on the Clippers' second unit, which led to a fiery discussion about the Clippers not being positioned well defensively. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue addressed the situation lightly, saying "after that little skirmish we took off and played a lot better. So maybe we should do that more often." Lue adds that there is no lingering beef between Hyland and Plumlee.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Somewhat of a surprise during his rookie season, Hyland comes into the 2022-23 season having established himself as a crucial part of the Nuggets' rotation. Despite ending the season outside the top 200 in eight-category per-game fantasy production, Hyland finished the campaign strongly, deploying averages of 14.0 points, 4.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 22.3 minutes across his final 20 appearances. With Jamal Murray likely to return from a knee injury that saw him miss the entire 2021-22 season, managers may need to slightly temper their expectations on draft day. That said, both Monte Morris and Will Barton are now out of the picture, opening up a larger, more consistent role for Hyland. Assuming Murray is good to go on opening night, Hyland should be a viable target in the later rounds of standard leagues.
Hyland was selected by the Nuggets with the 26th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. The reigning Atlantic 10 Player of the Year had an explosive sophomore season, averaging 19.5 points per game on 45/37/86 shooting splits. His dominant trait is three-point shooting, and he was comfortable shooting pull-ups and step-backs from range as well as being a catch-and-shoot threat. He also has the necessary handles to shake defenders who press up on him to prevent the three-ball, and the guard has the ability to finish near the basket. While he needs to work on tightening his handle and finding open teammates, the upside is clearly there for Hyland to develop into a microwave scorer. He might have a chance to break into the Nuggets' rotation early in the season, especially while Jamal Murray remains out.
