2024 Fantasy Outlook
The final pick in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, Niederhauser joins a loaded Clippers' center room led by Ivica Zubac and Brook Lopez. The Penn State product is a long shot to be part of the Opening Night roster with two veterans ahead of him, but the rookie finds himself with a great opportunity to learn and develop. Niederhauser wasn't a superstar in college and played on a bad team. However, he blocked 2.3 shots per game, showcasing a unique blend of size and athleticism, and was ultra-efficient around the rim. Niederhauser's shot-blocking prowess will be the trait that gets him action at the NBA level eventually, but there's plenty of room to grow offensively as a low-post scorer. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should pay close attention to Niederhauser's progress, but he can be avoided on draft day in redraft leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Niederhauser played the first two years of his college career at Northern Illinois but didn't really thrive. He made a huge leap in the 2024-25 season, though, and he enjoyed an excellent campaign after moving to Penn State. He was named an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention and ranked 12th in the nation in blocks with 2.3 per game, leading the Big Ten in that category. His junior year was a career-best season on both ends of the court, as he also averaged 12.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game as a junior, ranking second and first at Penn State, respectively. College aside, Niederhauser also has plenty of international experience and has represented Switzerland at various youth levels. When at his best and fully engaged, Niederhauser is a player who can wreak havoc on both ends of the court with his athleticism and instincts. Both traits play well on both ends of the court, and he profiles as a player who could be a solid rim finisher with elite defensive ability, particularly as a shot-blocker. However, his fundamentals aren't always there, and at times, he struggled with the pace of the college ranks, which might be a slight concern at the next level. Plus, there's a scenario where he might have a gear or two more left to unlock as a shooter. He has a soft touch near the rim and a passable mid-range shooting. The percentages aren't pretty, but the mechanics suggest he might improve those numbers with time -- as long as he puts the work in. His handles and passing ability are two things that haven't progressed as expected, either, meaning he's not expected to operate as a passing outlet in the post or as a passing alternative in pick-and-roll situations. It's hard to project the kind of player Niederhauser can be, as there are key areas in which he needs to improve to reach his full potential. He can be a DeAndre Jordan-type player on the defensive end in terms of instincts and athleticism. Still, if he unlocks a gear or two on offense, he has the upside to be an elite two-way center who could average nearly a double-double at his prime. If he doesn't, his career at the next level might be limited to being a situational backup big man who'd see most of his minutes due to his defensive prowess.

Los Angeles assigned Niederhauser to the G League's San Diego Clippers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Niederhauser didn't see any action in the last three NBA clashes, and it would make sense for him to get more opportunities in San Diego. He's likely to be a strong option in the G League, with his last five appearances in that category including three double-doubles.
