Nic Claxton on the ‘verge of breakout?’
The list is alphabetical but the first name on ESPN’s 10 players “on the verge of a breakout” is Nic Claxton. And if there was a list of players who the Nets need to rely on, Claxton would be high on that list as well. And so far, so good.
“His professionalism, I think, has taken a step,” coach Steve Nash said Wednesday. “His attention to detail, his consistency, I think you see the benefits. It feels like he can play longer stretches at high intensity. He’s a little stronger, more physical in traffic. We’re just gonna keep growing his understanding of the game and situational awareness.”
