Tom Crean: Nic Claxton has been 'everything that I thought he would be and more'

OK, so maybe the 6-foot-11 sophomore forward won't be a bringing the ball up in the floor in the traditional sense any time soon. But Claxton's ability to handle the ball caught head coach Tom Crean's eye when his team participated in team workouts this past April.

As a freshman, Claxton primarily played in the post and shot the occasional 3-pointer. After taking over for Mark Fox, who was fired at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, Crean has noticed a versatile player in Claxton. Not only can Claxton play inside and out, he has shown the ability to make plays off the dribble.
