Brooklyn Nets: How Nicolas Claxton fits with Nets

With the 31st pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets selected Nicolas Claxton, a 20-year-old center from the University of Georgia.

Here we will analyze his abilities and how Nicolas Claxton fits with the Nets.

When it was first announced that Brooklyn drafted another center many fans were already calling Claxton “Jarrett Allen 2.0.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

The only similarities between Allen and Claxton are their body-types, ability to protect the rim and defensive prowess. Claxton has offensive capabilities now that Allen has yet to develop.
