Spencer Dinwiddie: Nic Claxton is Nets’ ‘second-most talented player’

PHOENIX — Discounting the injured Kevin Durant, who does Spencer Dinwiddie think is most talented among a Nets roster that includes All-NBA talents Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan, and potential All-Stars Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen?

None of them. That honor, he said, goes to rookie Nic Claxton.

With Jordan injured, Claxton made his NBA debut Friday in Portland, Ore., and the second-round pick made quite an impression.

“So, I still believe JA is going to be an All-Star, but Nic is the second-most talented player on this team,” Dinwiddie said. “[First] is KD, either the first or second most talented scorer of all-time.
