Niederhauser was selected by the Clippers with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSISNiederhauser flew under the radar on a struggling Penn State team in 2024-25 but still put together a solid season, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks while shooting 61.1 percent over 29 games. His offensive game is still a work in progress, but his blend of size and athleticism gives him real potential as a rim protector. With
Ivica Zubac entrenched as the starting center, the Clippers can afford to bring Niederhauser along gradually.
