The Brooklyn Nets say big man Nic Claxton has been their best defender – and one they can’t replace or do without.
“He guards multiple positions for us … coming over to the weakside, blocking shots, putting pressure on the rim, rebounding,” Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said. “The games he doesn’t play, we miss him; it puts an extreme amount of pressure on other guys – there’s not another guy on our team that can do the things Nic does.”
