Brooklyn Nets add rim protector in project Nicolas Claxton at No. 31 overall
The Brooklyn Nets addressed their need for another rim protector in the 2nd round of Thursday’s NBA Draft, taking Georgia’s Nicolas Claxton.
After trading out of the first round Thursday night, the Brooklyn Nets added some size with the first pick in the second round by taking 7-footer Nicolas Claxton from the University of Georgia.
Claxton will address the Nets’ desire to add another rim protector as well as more size. Assuming he stays with Brooklyn this season, he becomes the tallest player on the roster.
