Data statistics:

Season 2024-25, Niederhauser played a total of 29 games for Penn State, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers. His shooting percentage was 61.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 9.1%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.4%.

Advantages:

1. Default Tower in the penalty area. With a standing touch height of 2.82 meters and a 94-centimeter bouncing, Nedhausen can provide a very ideal basket protection height, which can effectively reduce the opponent's shooting rate at the basket. With its excellent sense of smell, it can hand over impressive data with an average of 2.3 caps and 14.7% blocking rate.

2. Aerial connection machine. He has strong ability to eat cakes, can easily jump and violently abuse the basket, dunks account for 38.7% of the total score, has a high finishing efficiency in pick-and-roll, and has an assist rate of up to 91%. The straight line sprint is fast, and it can follow up well to complete the end of the transition offense without fear of confrontation.

3. Growth curve and feel potential. The efficiency value in the junior year increased exponentially, and the blocking rate gradually increased; the free throw action was still smooth, the 66.4% shooting rate had development potential, and the hook shooting rate in the near-frame was also steadily increasing. Compared with the freshman season, Niedhausen's growth in all aspects was also one of the main reasons why the Clippers chose to jump to the selection.

Disadvantages:

1. The offensive end has great limitations and no spatial attributes. He has poor independent offense, has almost no back-to-body singles and pass organization ability, and is prone to make mistakes when encountering double-teams; he has no shooting, and his 10-foot jumper shooting percentage is only 22.1%, and a total of 3-pointers from outside the three-point line is 29 shots.

2. Not disciplined enough. The defensive end is very similar to the template Goverd. He likes to jump high and block the block, which is easy to be pointed by fake moves and not control the fouls well; he sometimes has no awareness of rebounding position, and is more likely to be attacked by opponents and grab offensive rebounds. ​​

3. The replacement is insufficient for elasticity. The speed of the external bounce and the horizontal movement of the pick-and-roll is slow and will be targeted by the small defender with good rhythm.

4. The upper limit is doubtful. He entered the top ten leagues with higher levels at the age of 23, and the technology development window may be greatly compressed; he has never made more than 15 shots in a single game during college, and he is doubtful in the face of stronger opponents' pressure resistance.

Summary:

Nidhausen may be the most typical pancake forward of this year. He has a height of 2.11 meters and a 2.22 arm span, plus a good dynamic talent, and his strong final impact is enough to be coveted, but his disadvantages are also very classic - there are no highlights except eating pancakes on the offensive end, and he is easily addicted to gambling blocks on the defensive end and lacks bulletproof resistance. Although under the Clippers system, as a potential substitute center, Nedhausen does not need to overstep the authority and do too much. He only needs to focus on pick-and-roll eating cakes and squatting to protect the basket, avoiding offensive decisions and switching defenses from outside. But if he has not made a close-range finish and shot within two or three years, the Swiss center, who is now 23, may be in danger of fading out of the league quickly.
